What add_mock_rule does on RequestBin MCP Server

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

Why add_mock_rule needs a policy

This tool creates or appends new routing rules to an existing mock endpoint. While the modification is reversible (rules can presumably be deleted or replaced later), it directly alters mock endpoint behavior and state. This is a Write operation rather than Execute because the tool itself does not run code or trigger external effects; it configures infrastructure that will later determine behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Append a routing rule to a mock endpoint' — this is a create/add operation that modifies mock endpoint configuration. The description explicitly references calling deploy_mock afterward, indicating this persists configuration changes.
