WHAT IT DOES

What disconnect_dap does on Debugging MCP Server

AI agents call disconnect_dap as a supporting operation in Debugging MCP Server workflows.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why disconnect_dap needs a policy

Disconnecting from a debug session is a session management operation that neither reads data, writes/modifies data, executes code, destroys data, nor involves financial transactions. It terminates a debugger connection, which is a reversible administrative action (you can reconnect). The blast radius of misuse is minimal — at worst it interrupts an active debugging session.
