run_do_selected_lines · Stata MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What run_do_selected_lines does on Stata MCP Server

AI agents invoke run_do_selected_lines to trigger actions in Stata 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 run_do_selected_lines needs a policy

This is an Execute tool because it runs code whose effects depend on the arguments (the selected lines). While not immediately destructive, Stata .do files can perform irreversible operations (delete datasets, overwrite files, modify data on disk). The tool triggers external operations (Stata execution) with side effects determined by the code content.

From the tool's definition Tool executes selected lines of Stata .do files (Korean description: '선택된 라인들만 실행' = 'execute only selected lines'). .do files contain Stata code that performs statistical analysis, data manipulation, and file I/O operations.
