deselect-project · Openfort MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What deselect-project does on Openfort MCP Server

AI agents use deselect-project to create or update resources in Openfort MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Openfort MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why deselect-project needs a policy

This tool modifies agent state by removing the active project and API secret configuration. It is reversible (the project can be re-selected), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could disrupt ongoing operations by deselecting the active project, causing medium severity impact.
