WHAT IT DOES

What cart_recalculate_order does on MCP Dynamics 365 Commerce Server

AI agents invoke cart_recalculate_order to trigger actions in MCP Dynamics 365 Commerce 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cart_recalculate_order needs a policy

Recalculating an order is an operation that executes business logic (pricing engine, tax calculation, discount evaluation) and likely modifies derived order fields. It is not a simple read, but it is also not a direct destructive or financial transaction.

From the tool's definition 'Recalculate customer order' — triggers a recalculation operation on an existing order, which runs computational logic and may update pricing, taxes, discounts, or totals.
