WHAT IT DOES

What run_coworker does on AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server

AI agents invoke run_coworker to trigger actions in AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server. 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.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why run_coworker is rated High

This tool executes external operations whose side effects are contingent on the coworker's implementation and arguments. While the exact nature of 'coworker' is somewhat opaque (could be a task, workflow, or script), the verb 'run' paired with synchronous execution and result return clearly indicates it triggers code/process execution rather than simple data retrieval or modification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_coworker' combined with description 'Run a coworker immediately (synchronously) and return the run result' indicates execution of an external operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs run_coworker safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run_coworker, this is the rule to start with:

run_coworker Rate-limited

run_coworker stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
