hooks_coverage-route · Ruflo MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What hooks_coverage-route does on Ruflo

AI agents invoke hooks_coverage-route to trigger actions in Ruflo. 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 hooks_coverage-route needs a policy

This tool routes tasks to agents for execution, which constitutes triggering external operations (agent workflows). The 'route task to agents' phrasing indicates dispatching work to autonomous agents, which is an Execute-category action. The blast radius is high because misdirected routing in a multi-agent swarm can trigger cascading autonomous actions across the system.

From the tool's definition 'Route task to agents' and 'ruvector integration' — triggers autonomous agent execution based on test coverage analysis
