WHAT IT DOES

What cdp_logout does on CDP MCP Server

AI agents invoke cdp_logout to trigger actions in CDP 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.

RISK

Why cdp_logout is rated High

This tool performs a POST request that executes a logout action against an external authentication system. It is not a simple read, nor does it delete or modify stored data — it terminates an authenticated session, which is an external operation with side effects (invalidating tokens/sessions). Execute is the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition POST /authentication?action=logout — triggers an external authentication operation (logout action) on the CDP API

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cdp_logout safely

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

cdp_logout Rate-limited

cdp_logout 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.
