WHAT IT DOES

What stop_preview_server does on Cocos

AI agents invoke stop_preview_server to trigger actions in Cocos. 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 stop_preview_server is rated High

This tool executes an external operation (terminating the preview server process) whose effects depend on the current state of the editor environment. While not destructive (the preview state can be restarted), it is an Execute category action because it triggers an external operation that changes system state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stop_preview_server' combined with server description indicating direct control of Cocos Creator 3.8.x editor. Stopping a preview server is an operational action that terminates a running process/service.

stop_preview_server Rate-limited

stop_preview_server 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.
