# execute_workflow Execute a FlowDot workflow by ID. Use list_workflows first to get available workflow IDs. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `execute_workflow`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/execute-workflow ## Facts - Tool: `execute_workflow` - Server: FlowDot MCP Server (`flowdot-llc/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/flowdot-llc/mcp-server - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "execute_workflow", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why execute_workflow is rated High This tool triggers execution of arbitrary workflows, which are external operations whose actual effects (data modifications, API calls, deletions, financial transactions) depend on what the workflow contains. While the tool itself doesn't directly destructure data, it invokes workflows that may perform Write, Destructive, Financial, or other side-effect operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'execute_workflow' with description stating 'Execute a FlowDot workflow by ID'. The verb 'execute' directly indicates running/triggering an operation whose effects depend on the workflow's contents and arguments." ## Use case AI agents invoke execute_workflow to trigger actions in FlowDot 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 FlowDot MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "execute_workflow": { "limits": [ { "counter": "execute_workflow_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on FlowDot MCP Server (206) - `browser_act` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-act.md - `cancel_execution` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/cancel-execution.md - `delete_agent_character` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-agent-character.md - `delete_app` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-app.md - `delete_app_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-app-file.md - `delete_connection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-connection.md - `delete_custom_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-custom-node.md - `delete_goal` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal.md - `delete_goal_milestone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal-milestone.md - `delete_goal_task` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal-task.md - `delete_image` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-image.md - `delete_input_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-input-preset.md - `delete_knowledge_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-knowledge-category.md - `delete_knowledge_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-knowledge-document.md - `delete_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-node.md - `delete_recipe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe.md - `delete_recipe_step` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe-step.md - `delete_recipe_store` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe-store.md - `delete_workflow` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-workflow.md - `email_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/email-delete.md - `mcp__flowdot__delete_agent_toolkit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--delete-agent-toolkit.md - `mcp__flowdot__delete_toolkit_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--delete-toolkit-tool.md - `mcp__flowdot__uninstall_toolkit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--uninstall-toolkit.md - `panic_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/panic-clear.md - `revoke_kb_access` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/revoke-kb-access.md - `unlink_property_kb_source` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/unlink-property-kb-source.md - `browser_launch` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-launch.md - `browser_navigate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-navigate.md - `browser_sequence` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-sequence.md - `browser_wait_for` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-wait-for.md - …and 176 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
