WHAT IT DOES

What crow_publish_post does on Crow

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

RISK

Why crow_publish_post is rated Medium

Publishing a blog post creates a public, discoverable change to project data that affects visibility and accessibility. While reversible (post can be unpublished), the action is substantive and irreversible in terms of public exposure timeline. Categorized as Write rather than Execute because the tool's purpose is data modification (status + timestamp), not arbitrary code/command execution.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Publish a blog post (sets status to published and records timestamp)', which modifies data by changing post status and recording metadata. The two-step confirmation pattern (preview + token) indicates intentional state change.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs crow_publish_post safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For crow_publish_post, this is the rule to start with:

crow_publish_post Rate-limited

crow_publish_post stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
