supabase_deploy · Yaver MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What supabase_deploy does on Yaver

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why supabase_deploy needs a policy

supabase_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

supabase_deploy Rate-limited

supabase_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.
