pipeline_complete · Dobbe MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What pipeline_complete does on Dobbe

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why pipeline_complete needs a policy

This tool modifies pipeline state irreversibly by marking it as complete, but does not delete data or trigger financial transactions. It is a Write action because it updates pipeline status/state.

From the tool's definition 'Finalize a completed pipeline' indicates state transition and modification of pipeline metadata/status. The tool completes (finalizes) a pipeline execution record.

pipeline_complete Rate-limited

pipeline_complete 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.
