WHAT IT DOES

What adaptercloud_sync_start does on Adaptercloud

AI agents invoke adaptercloud_sync_start to trigger actions in Adaptercloud. 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`kind`	string	—	Sync kind (default DISCOVERY)
`connectionId`	string	Yes	Connection to sync

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why adaptercloud_sync_start is rated High

adaptercloud_sync_start triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs adaptercloud_sync_start safely

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

adaptercloud_sync_start Rate-limited

adaptercloud_sync_start 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 Adaptercloud, apply this rule, and every adaptercloud_sync_start call is checked against it from then on.
