redeploy_project · Openl MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What redeploy_project does on Openl

AI agents invoke redeploy_project to trigger actions in Openl. 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 redeploy_project needs a policy

Redeployment triggers an external operation that pushes a project version into a live deployment environment. This is not merely writing data — it executes a deployment pipeline with real-world effects (activating new rules, rolling back versions).

From the tool's definition Redeploy an existing deployment with a new project version. Use this to update a deployment with a newer version of the project or rollback to a previous version.

redeploy_project Rate-limited

redeploy_project 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.
