## Why cdp_provision_instance_action is rated High

The description is empty, so classification relies solely on the name. 'Provision' typically means initializing or allocating a new instance/resource, which is an irreversible or hard-to-undo external operation. 'Action' reinforces that this triggers something. Given the context of a CDP platform with ~300 tools and administrative scope, this likely executes a provisioning workflow.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name: cdp_provision_instance_action — 'provision' and 'action' suggest triggering an external operation (provisioning a CDP instance), which is an Execute-class operation with potentially significant blast radius."

## Use case

AI agents invoke cdp_provision_instance_action 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CDP MCP Server:
