teammate_teleport · Claude Flow MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What teammate_teleport does on Claude Flow

AI agents invoke teammate_teleport to trigger actions in Claude Flow. 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 teammate_teleport needs a policy
