ira_reload · IRA-RESEARCHER MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What ira_reload does on IRA-RESEARCHER

AI agents invoke ira_reload 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_reload needs a policy

Reloading a page triggers an external browser operation that re-executes any page logic, re-sends network requests, and may have side effects depending on the page (e.g., re-submitting forms). It is not purely a read operation and fits Execute as it triggers a browser action. Blast radius is low since it typically just refreshes the current page state.

Verdict

ira_reload Rate-limited

ira_reload stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
