WHAT IT DOES

What set_mitigation_groups does on Mipiti MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_mitigation_groups needs a policy

The tool likely creates or modifies mitigation group mappings within the Mipiti security platform—a reversible, administrative write operation. No evidence of deletion (would be Destructive), code execution (would be Execute), or financial impact (would be Financial). Classified as Write rather than Read because 'set_' implies state modification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_mitigation_groups' combined with sibling tools like 'add_asset', 'add_assumption', 'add_evidence' which are clearly Write operations on a security posture management platform.
