gsd_quick · Gsd MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What gsd_quick does on Gsd

AI agents invoke gsd_quick to trigger actions in Gsd. 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 gsd_quick needs a policy

This tool runs arbitrary tasks, making it Execute category.
