WHAT IT DOES

What gateway_toggle does on Claude Team MCP

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why gateway_toggle needs a policy

The tool toggles the enabled/disabled state of a target, which is a reversible state change (Write). It explicitly does not delete configuration, ruling out Destructive. However, disabling a target could disrupt active operations or agent coordination, giving it medium severity. The description is vague about what 'target' refers to, slightly lowering confidence.
