vote_on_reflection · Session Buddy MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What vote_on_reflection does on Session Buddy

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why vote_on_reflection needs a policy

Voting constitutes a write operation that creates or modifies data (vote records, reflection scores) in a reversible manner. The action cannot be undone by design (votes can be changed), making it Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is low because voting on reflections has minimal impact on system state or user data integrity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Vote on a team reflection (upvote/downvote)' which are voting actions that modify reflection metadata or state.
