WHAT IT DOES

What setup_ci_cd_pipeline does on MCP Developer Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why setup_ci_cd_pipeline needs a policy

This tool creates CI/CD pipeline configuration files (like GitHub Actions workflows, Makefiles, Dockerfiles, etc.), which is a Write operation. However, the severity is high because CI/CD pipelines define automated build, test, and deployment processes — a malicious or misconfigured pipeline could lead to code execution, secret exfiltration, or unauthorized deployments.
