WHAT IT DOES

What xentral_raw_request does on Xentral MCP HTTP Server

AI agents invoke xentral_raw_request to trigger actions in Xentral MCP HTTP Server. 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 xentral_raw_request needs a policy

A raw, low-level API request tool can be used to invoke any endpoint on the Xentral ERP system, including write, destructive, and potentially financial operations (orders, payments, deletions). Because it is unconstrained and exposes the full API surface, it must be classified at the highest applicable severity.

From the tool's definition 'Low-level Xentral-API-Request' — a raw/low-level API request tool with no described constraints on method or endpoint
