## Why databricks_stop_warehouse is rated High

Stopping a warehouse is an Execute-level action because it triggers an external operation (stopping Databricks compute infrastructure) with effects that depend on the current warehouse state. While not immediately destructive (the warehouse can be restarted), it immediately disrupts all active queries and workloads.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'databricks_stop_warehouse' indicates stopping a running warehouse resource. No description provided, but 'stop' is an operational action that terminates a compute resource, affecting active queries and operations."

## Use case

AI agents invoke databricks_stop_warehouse to trigger actions in Databricks 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)
