WHAT IT DOES

What restart_steam_game_mode does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents invoke restart_steam_game_mode to trigger actions in Mcp Control Plane. 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.

RISK

Why restart_steam_game_mode is rated High

The tool triggers an executable action (restarting a system service) rather than querying data (Read) or modifying data reversibly (Write). While the action is not destructive (data is not deleted/lost) or financial, it executes a command that interrupts a running service and causes system-level changes. This qualifies as Execute.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Restart Steam in Game Mode' which interrupts the current Steam UI session—an active system operation with external side effects.
