graph_create_correction · IMS MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What graph_create_correction does on IMS MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why graph_create_correction needs a policy

The tool creates or adds correction entries to a graph system (likely tracking fixes or updates to the architectural/system model). This is a Write operation because it adds new data without deletion. Severity is medium because corrections in a graph system could affect decision-making and downstream consumers of that graph, but the operation is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'graph_create_correction' indicates creation of correction records in a graph structure. The 'create' verb typically modifies data structures reversibly.
