## Why team_manager_approve_plan is rated High

This tool triggers a state transition that either approves execution of a multi-agent room (causing downstream agent orchestration to begin) or requests revisions. The act of 'starting the governed agent room' is an external operation that initiates potentially complex, cascading agent actions. This goes beyond a simple write, as it triggers execution of an agent pipeline.

From the tool's own definition: "Approve or request revisions to the Team Manager plan before starting the governed agent room"

## Use case

AI agents invoke team_manager_approve_plan to trigger actions in Team Manager MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
