WHAT IT DOES

What cancel_indexing_job does on Codebase Contextifier 9000

AI agents invoke cancel_indexing_job to trigger actions in Codebase Contextifier 9000. 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 cancel_indexing_job needs a policy

Cancelling an indexing job terminates an active background process/operation. This is an external operation that affects system state (stops a running job), placing it in the Execute category. It doesn't delete data (Destructive) or create/modify data (Write), but it does trigger an action that interrupts a running process.
