# restart_execution A execute tool on the Kestra Python MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `restart_execution`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/restart-execution ## Facts - Tool: `restart_execution` - 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": "restart_execution", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why restart_execution is rated High Restarting an execution triggers external workflow operations in Kestra, making it an Execute-category tool. It has high severity because an AI agent could restart production workflows, causing unintended side effects (resource consumption, cascading failures, data modifications through the workflow logic). From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'restart_execution' combined with sibling tools like 'execute_flow', 'backfill_executions', and 'change_taskrun_state' indicates this triggers workflow execution operations." ## Use case AI agents invoke restart_execution 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": { "restart_execution": { "limits": [ { "counter": "restart_execution_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Kestra Python MCP Server (38) - `delete_execution_logs` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/delete-execution-logs.md - `delete_flow_logs` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/delete-flow-logs.md - `backfill_executions` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/backfill-executions.md - `change_taskrun_state` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/change-taskrun-state.md - `execute_flow` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/execute-flow.md - `force_run_execution` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/force-run-execution.md - `manage_executions` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/manage-executions.md - `replay_execution` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/replay-execution.md - `resume_execution` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/resume-execution.md - `generate_app` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/generate-app.md - `generate_dashboard` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/generate-dashboard.md - `generate_test` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/generate-test.md - `manage_apps` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/manage-apps.md - `manage_group` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/manage-group.md - `manage_tests` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/manage-tests.md - `namespace_directory_action` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/namespace-directory-action.md - `namespace_file_action` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/namespace-file-action.md - `download_execution_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/download-execution-logs.md - `find_flow` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/find-flow.md - `follow_execution_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/follow-execution-logs.md - `get_execution_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/get-execution-logs.md - `get_instance_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/get-instance-info.md - `list_executions` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/list-executions.md - `list_flows_in_namespace` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/list-flows-in-namespace.md - `list_flows_with_triggers` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/list-flows-with-triggers.md - `list_namespace_dependencies` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/list-namespace-dependencies.md - `list_namespaces` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/list-namespaces.md - `search_apps` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/search-apps.md - `search_flows` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/search-flows.md - `search_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python/search-logs.md - …and 8 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
