WHAT IT DOES

What plone_create_blocks_layout does on Plone MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why plone_create_blocks_layout needs a policy

The tool creates or prepares a block layout structure that will be used by a subsequent operation. While the structure exists in memory for only 60 seconds, the tool itself performs a write operation that transforms or creates data. This is reversible (can be discarded or overwritten) and not destructive, making it Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description indicates it 'prepares a complete block structure' which modifies data structure state, even if in-memory and temporary.
