Medium Risk

resume_execution

Resume a previously paused pipeline execution, continuing from where it was halted. Use this after pause_execution once the manual review or intervention is complete. Returns a confirmation message.

Part of the Spinnaker MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use resume_execution to create or modify resources in Spinnaker. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call resume_execution repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Spinnaker.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the resume_execution tool do? +

Resume a previously paused pipeline execution, continuing from where it was halted. Use this after pause_execution once the manual review or intervention is complete. Returns a confirmation message.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Spinnaker MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on resume_execution? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for resume_execution. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Spinnaker MCP server.

What risk level is resume_execution? +

resume_execution is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit resume_execution? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resume_execution rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block resume_execution completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for resume_execution. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides resume_execution? +

resume_execution is provided by the Spinnaker MCP server (spinnaker-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
