close_comment · Codecks MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What close_comment does on Codecks

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why close_comment needs a policy

Closing/resolving a comment thread is a state modification that affects project communication but is reversible and not destructive. It does not create new data (Write, not Create), execute arbitrary code, delete anything permanently, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'close_comment' and description states 'Close (resolve) a comment thread.' This modifies the state of a comment thread by resolving it, which is a reversible action (comments can typically be reopened in project management systems).

Verdict

close_comment Rate-limited

close_comment stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
