WHAT IT DOES

What recycle_application_pool does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents invoke recycle_application_pool to trigger actions in 20i 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 recycle_application_pool is rated High

Recycling an IIS application pool triggers an external operation that restarts the worker process, interrupting active connections and resetting application state. This is an execution-type action with side effects (service interruption) but is not irreversible — the pool restarts and recovers. No data is deleted or modified persistently, and no financial transaction occurs.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs recycle_application_pool safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For recycle_application_pool, this is the rule to start with:

recycle_application_pool Rate-limited

recycle_application_pool 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.
