linklee_create_link · Linklee MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What linklee_create_link does on Linklee

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why linklee_create_link needs a policy

This tool creates new resources (short links) in the Linklee system, which is a reversible modification of data (links can be deleted or modified later). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or perform read-only queries. Write operations typically carry medium severity since they modify state but can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a short link on Linklee. Returns the short URL and link details.' The verb 'Create' and the action of persisting new short link data indicates this is a Write operation that creates and stores new data reversibly.
