WHAT IT DOES

What canton_submit_command does on Tenzro Ledger MCP

AI agents invoke canton_submit_command to trigger actions in Tenzro Ledger MCP. 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.

RISK

Why canton_submit_command is rated High
