cli_waitlist_down · LaunchFrame MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What cli_waitlist_down does on LaunchFrame MCP

AI agents invoke cli_waitlist_down to trigger actions in LaunchFrame MCP. 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 cli_waitlist_down needs a policy

This tool executes an operational command to stop a running service. It is not merely reading data or writing records — it triggers an external operation (stopping a process/service) whose effect depends on the current system state. Stopping a service can cause downtime or disrupt users relying on the waitlist functionality, making the severity medium.
