postgres-deploy · Dokploy MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What postgres-deploy does on Dokploy MCP Server

AI agents invoke postgres-deploy to trigger actions in Dokploy MCP Server. 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 postgres-deploy needs a policy

Deploying a database is an Execute action because it runs an external operation (database provisioning/deployment) whose effects depend on arguments and configuration. While not immediately destructive, it creates persistent infrastructure with side effects that depend on how the agent invokes it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'postgres-deploy' and description 'Deploys a PostgreSQL database in Dokploy' indicate execution of a deployment operation that triggers external infrastructure changes.
