graduate · Kb MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What graduate does on Kb

AI agents use graduate to create or update resources in Kb — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kb environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why graduate needs a policy

The tool moves or promotes notes from a project-specific location to a general shared location. This is a write/modification operation (reorganizing and potentially copying or moving data), but it is likely reversible. The word 'propose' suggests it may be a soft write (staging a change rather than immediately committing), which slightly lowers severity. No code execution, deletion, or financial action is implied.

Verdict

graduate Rate-limited

graduate stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
