clone_project · Prowpt MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What clone_project does on Prowpt MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why clone_project needs a policy

Cloning a project creates a new copy of an existing project, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete, execute code, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius is medium since it could duplicate large projects or consume resources, but it can be undone by deleting the clone.

From the tool's definition Clone an existing project. Provide a new name; slug is auto-generated if omitted.
