ira_drag · IRA-RESEARCHER MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What ira_drag does on IRA-RESEARCHER

AI agents invoke ira_drag to trigger actions in IRA-RESEARCHER. 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 ira_drag needs a policy

Drag-and-drop is a browser action that can trigger UI interactions such as reordering, moving files, or initiating uploads/transfers. It is an Execute-category action because its effects depend on the arguments (source and target elements) and can cause meaningful side effects in web applications.

From the tool's definition 'Drag from one element to another' — triggers a browser interaction (drag-and-drop) that performs an action in the browser whose effects depend on the target element and context
