l6e_authorize_call · L6e MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What l6e_authorize_call does on L6e

AI agents invoke l6e_authorize_call to trigger actions in L6e. 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 l6e_authorize_call needs a policy

l6e_authorize_call triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
