WHAT IT DOES

What bitbucket_trigger_pipeline does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents invoke bitbucket_trigger_pipeline to trigger actions in ContextForge MCP Gateway. 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 bitbucket_trigger_pipeline needs a policy

This tool invokes an external operation (Bitbucket pipeline execution) whose side effects are substantial and depend on arguments. While not destructive in the sense of data deletion, triggering a pipeline can have wide-ranging consequences including code deployments, resource provisioning, or test failures. This is classically Execute: it runs code/operations external to the immediate system.

From the tool's definition The tool name and description explicitly indicate it 'Trigger[s] a new pipeline run' – this executes an external CI/CD pipeline whose effects (build, test, deploy) depend on the pipeline configuration and cannot be easily reversed.
