expert_architect · Musubix MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What expert_architect does on Musubix

AI agents invoke expert_architect to trigger actions in Musubix. 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 expert_architect needs a policy

This tool dispatches tasks to an external 'Architect expert' system, which constitutes triggering an external operation. The effects are argument-dependent (system design, component structure, design patterns, architectural decisions). It is not a simple read — it actively delegates work to another agent/service.

From the tool's definition 'Delegate architecture-related tasks to the Architect expert' — triggers an external agent/expert operation whose effects depend on the arguments provided
