WHAT IT DOES

What uploadFile does on kintone OAuth MCP Server on Cloudflare Workers

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why uploadFile needs a policy

This tool uploads and stores a file in kintone, which is a reversible write operation (files can be deleted or replaced later). It does not execute arbitrary code or commands, does not destroy data irreversibly, and does not involve financial transactions. While file uploads could be abused to store malicious content, the primary impact is data creation/modification.

From the tool's definition uploadFile: 'Upload a file to kintone (returns file key for use in record fields)' - the action creates a new file object and returns a file key, indicating persistent data creation rather than querying.
