WHAT IT DOES

What create_workflow_deployment does on NGS360 MCP Server

AI agents invoke create_workflow_deployment to trigger actions in NGS360 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 create_workflow_deployment needs a policy

Deploying a workflow triggers an external operation on a platform — it provisions or activates a workflow version, which goes beyond merely writing a record. The effect depends on the workflow and platform arguments and can initiate compute/infrastructure operations. This maps to Execute.
