multi_copy_print · Kiln MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What multi_copy_print does on Kiln

AI agents invoke multi_copy_print to trigger actions in Kiln. 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 multi_copy_print needs a policy

Based on the server context (3D printer control) and the tool name, this tool likely triggers a multi-copy print job on a physical 3D printer. Executing a print job is an external physical operation that consumes materials (filament/resin), occupies the printer for extended periods, and can cause hardware damage if misused. The empty description lowers confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'multi_copy_print' on a server described as 'AI agent control of 3D printers'; description is empty and uninformative.
