What capture_stop does on Livepilot

AI agents invoke capture_stop to trigger actions in Livepilot. 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 capture_stop is rated High

The name 'capture_stop' implies triggering an action (stopping a capture/recording process) rather than passively reading data. Stopping a capture is an Execute-category action—it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the current state. While not Destructive (data is not irreversibly deleted) or Write (data is not created/modified), it performs a state-change action.
