create_museum · Confd MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_museum does on Confd

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_museum needs a policy

This tool creates new records in the museum database. While creation is reversible (records can be updated or deleted by other tools on this server), the blast radius is medium because an AI agent could spam the database with invalid museum records, pollute the catalog, or create fraudulent entries that require manual cleanup.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_museum' and description 'Create a new museum' directly indicates data creation. The parameters (name, contact info, address, social media, tags, opening hours, admission prices) are all reversible additions to a database.
