compile_wiki · Ogham MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What compile_wiki does on Ogham

AI agents invoke compile_wiki to trigger actions in Ogham. 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 compile_wiki needs a policy

The description is empty, which significantly lowers confidence. Based on the name alone, 'compile_wiki' likely processes or builds wiki content from stored memory entries, which maps most closely to Execute (triggering an operation). It could also be a Read-like aggregation. Without a description, the exact behavior is unknown.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'compile_wiki' with empty description. The word 'compile' suggests a build/transform/execute operation on wiki content.

Verdict

compile_wiki Rate-limited

compile_wiki 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.
