unpublish_form · RSpace MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What unpublish_form does on RSpace MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why unpublish_form needs a policy

Unpublishing a form changes its visibility/state in the system but is likely reversible (forms can typically be re-published). This is a state modification rather than a deletion, so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium as it could disrupt users from creating documents using that form.

unpublish_form Rate-limited

unpublish_form 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.
