WHAT IT DOES

What execute_cc_task does on Claude Code Multi-Process MCP Server

AI agents invoke execute_cc_task to trigger actions in Claude Code Multi-Process 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 execute_cc_task needs a policy

This tool runs code (Claude Code tasks) whose effects depend entirely on the code being executed. While the tool itself is not destructive by design, it grants an AI agent the ability to execute arbitrary code, which could perform reads, writes, deletes, or external operations depending on what code is passed to it. This makes it Execute-category.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'execute_cc_task' with description indicating execution of Claude Code tasks in synchronous mode.
