save_game · Integration Quest MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What save_game does on Integration Quest

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why save_game needs a policy

This tool creates and stores game state data (a checkpoint/save file) in a reversible manner. It does not execute code, delete data, or cause financial transactions. It is a Write operation as it creates new persistent data. Severity is low because misuse would only result in additional save files with no blast radius to other systems or irreversible consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a checkpoint' and 'Returns save ID for later restoration'. The operation creates a new save file/checkpoint without modifying or deleting existing game state.

Verdict

save_game Rate-limited

save_game stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
