generatePrepareInsight · Lofty MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What generatePrepareInsight does on Lofty MCP Server

AI agents invoke generatePrepareInsight to trigger actions in Lofty MCP Server. 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 generatePrepareInsight needs a policy

Generating an AI insight involves executing an AI model or pipeline on the lead's data, producing derived output. This is not a pure read (it creates new content) nor a write (it may not persistently store anything by default), but it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the lead data passed in. Execute is the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition 'Generate AI prepare insight for a lead' — triggers an AI generation process, which is an external computation/operation rather than a simple data read or write.
