k1_stand · Execution Market MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What k1_stand does on Execution Market

AI agents invoke k1_stand to trigger actions in Execution Market. 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 k1_stand needs a policy

This tool triggers a physical/robotic action — commanding a robot (K1) to transition to a standing pose. This constitutes executing an external operation with real-world physical effects. Severity is medium because misuse could cause physical harm or equipment damage, though it's a stabilizing action rather than a destructive one.

From the tool's definition Bring the K1 from any pose to a stable standing pose

k1_stand Rate-limited
