start_company_enrichment · DataMerge MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What start_company_enrichment does on DataMerge MCP

AI agents invoke start_company_enrichment to trigger actions in DataMerge MCP. 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 start_company_enrichment needs a policy

This tool initiates an asynchronous external enrichment job against the DataMerge API. It is not a simple read (it POSTs and causes side effects), not purely a write of user-controlled data, and not destructive or financial. It executes an external process that consumes API credits and potentially modifies company records or lists, placing it in the Execute category.

From the tool's definition POST /v1/company/enrich — triggers an enrichment job (async), returns a job_id; described as starting an external operation whose effects depend on arguments (domain, batch options, list assignment)
