WHAT IT DOES

What release_dedicated_zone does on CloudStack MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why release_dedicated_zone needs a policy

Releasing a zone dedication removes the exclusive assignment of a zone to an account/domain, making it available to others. This is a reversible configuration change (dedication can be re-applied), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium as it affects resource allocation across potentially many users in that zone.
