move_page · Notion MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What move_page does on Notion MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why move_page needs a policy

Moving a page changes its parent/location in Notion's hierarchy but does not delete, destroy, or permanently remove data (Destructive category). It is not Read-only (no side effects), Execute (not running arbitrary code or triggering external operations based on arguments), or Financial. The action is reversible — a page can be moved again to its original location.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Move a page to a new location' — this modifies the structural location/hierarchy of a page within Notion, which is a reversible change to data organization.
