graphql_request · AutoSpectra MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What graphql_request does on AutoSpectra MCP Server

AI agents invoke graphql_request to trigger actions in AutoSpectra MCP Server. 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 graphql_request needs a policy

From the tool's definition Make GraphQL requests — executes arbitrary GraphQL operations (queries, mutations, subscriptions) against external endpoints
