update_mission_params · resQ MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What update_mission_params does on resQ MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_mission_params needs a policy

The name implies writing/updating configuration or parameters for an active mission in an emergency response system. Given the critical nature of the resQ emergency response context (drone deployments, incident response), modifying mission parameters could have significant real-world consequences. However, the empty description lowers confidence — it could also be Execute-level if it triggers live mission changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_mission_params' suggests modifying mission parameters; description is empty and uninformative.
