## Facts

- Tool: `manage_executions`
- Server: Kestra Python MCP Server (`kestra-io/mcp-server-python`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/kestra-io/mcp-server-python
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "manage_executions",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why manage_executions is rated High

The tool name 'manage_executions' implies operations on workflow executions. Given the server context (Kestra workflow management) and sibling tools that execute flows, change task states, and backfill executions, this tool likely triggers or modifies workflow executions, placing it in the Execute category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'manage_executions' on a server described as supporting 'flow management, executions, backfills, and other Kestra features'; sibling tools include 'execute_flow', 'backfill_executions', 'change_taskrun_state'"

## Use case

AI agents invoke manage_executions to trigger actions in Kestra Python MCP 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Kestra Python MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "manage_executions": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "manage_executions_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
