WHAT IT DOES

What bulk_update_projects does on Helios-9 MCP Server

AI agents use bulk_update_projects to create or update resources in Helios-9 MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Helios-9 MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why bulk_update_projects needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating multiple projects. While bulk operations increase blast radius due to affecting multiple entities, the action is reversible (data can be updated again), placing it in the Write category rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'bulk_update_projects' and description confirms 'Update multiple projects at once with common settings'. This performs modification operations on potentially many entities simultaneously.
