WHAT IT DOES

What birst_space_action does on Infor Birst MCP Server

AI agents invoke birst_space_action to trigger actions in Infor Birst MCP 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 birst_space_action needs a policy

This tool triggers external administrative operations (replication, publishing, cache clearing, index rebuilding) on the Birst analytics platform. These are operational actions with side effects that can affect system state and performance, but are not purely destructive (data is not deleted) nor financial. Execute is the most appropriate category.
