WHAT IT DOES

What login does on PerfDog to Tableau MCP Server

AI agents invoke login to trigger actions in PerfDog to Tableau 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why login needs a policy

This tool executes an authentication flow against an external service (PerfDog) and extracts security tokens. It is not a pure read operation because it initiates a session and harvests credentials/tokens, which constitutes an external operation with security implications. Misuse could result in unauthorized access or credential exposure.

From the tool's definition 'PerfDog 로그인 + csrf-token 자동 추출' — performs a login action and automatically extracts CSRF tokens, triggering an external authentication operation with side effects beyond simple data retrieval

Verdict

login stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
