copy_colorway · Clo3d MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What copy_colorway does on Clo3d

AI agents use copy_colorway to create or update resources in Clo3d — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Clo3d environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why copy_colorway needs a policy

The tool creates a new reversible artifact (a colorway copy) within CLO3D. This is a Write operation—it modifies project state by adding a new colorway, but the action is reversible (the duplicate can be deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete irreversibly, or move money, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'copy_colorway' and description 'Duplicate a colorway. Returns the new colorway index.' indicate creation of new data (a duplicate colorway) within a garment design project.
