draft_application · Crosswalk MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What draft_application does on Crosswalk

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why draft_application needs a policy

The tool appears to draft/compose a job application, which is a creation/write operation. It likely generates and stores an application package. It is distinct from 'apply_application' which presumably submits it. Since it only builds (creates) rather than submits, it falls under Write. Confidence is moderate because the description is very brief and exact behavior is unclear.

From the tool's definition 'Build a full application' — creates/composes an application document

Verdict

draft_application Rate-limited

draft_application 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.
