sdk_page_refresh · UI Bridge MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What sdk_page_refresh does on UI Bridge MCP

AI agents invoke sdk_page_refresh to trigger actions in UI Bridge 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 sdk_page_refresh needs a policy

A page refresh is an external operation that reloads UI state, fitting the Execute category. However, the empty description significantly reduces confidence. Based on the name alone, it likely triggers a refresh/reload action on an external application's UI, which is an Execute-level operation with medium severity since it could disrupt user sessions or ongoing operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sdk_page_refresh' suggests triggering a page refresh action; description is empty and uninformative.
