publishPage · GROWI MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What publishPage does on GROWI MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why publishPage needs a policy

Publishing a page changes its metadata/status (from draft/unpublished to published) reversibly—it can be unpublished again. This is a modification operation but not destructive (data is not deleted or permanently overwritten). The blast radius is medium because publishing could expose wiki content to unintended audiences if the wrong page ID is targeted, but the operation is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Publish a page by its ID'. The verb 'publish' indicates a state change operation that modifies a page's visibility or status, making it a write operation.

Verdict

publishPage Rate-limited

publishPage 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.
