cf_deploy · Yaver MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What cf_deploy does on Yaver

AI agents invoke cf_deploy to trigger actions in Yaver. 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 IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cf_deploy needs a policy

cf_deploy triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Verdict

cf_deploy Rate-limited

cf_deploy 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.
