WHAT IT DOES

What generate_finding does on Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_finding needs a policy

The tool creates new data (pentest findings/reports) which is reversible—generated reports can be deleted, edited, or discarded. While the context involves vulnerability/exploit intelligence, the tool itself performs document generation rather than executing exploits, accessing external systems, or performing irreversible actions. This is a Write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate_finding' and description indicating it generates a pentest report finding in Markdown format. This creates/writes new content (a report document) in a reversible manner.
