What cdp_rerun_job does on CDP MCP Server
AI agents invoke cdp_rerun_job 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.
Why cdp_rerun_job is rated High
This tool executes an external operation (a workflow job) whose side effects depend on the job definition. While not inherently destructive, it can modify data or trigger integrations depending on what the workflow does. It is more severe than Write (reversible data creation/modification) because workflow jobs may have cascading effects beyond simple data updates.
From the tool's definition 'Re-run a completed or failed workflow job' - this triggers execution of a workflow job with effects that depend on the job's configuration and payload, which are not specified by this tool's arguments alone.

cdp_rerun_job 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CDP MCP Server, apply this rule, and every cdp_rerun_job call is checked against it from then on.
