teammate_teleport · Ruflo MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What teammate_teleport does on Ruflo

AI agents invoke teammate_teleport 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 teammate_teleport needs a policy

This tool changes the active context or working directory for a team of agents, which is an operational/execution action that affects the runtime environment of multiple agents simultaneously. Switching the working directory or context can redirect where agents read/write files or execute commands, potentially causing cascading effects across a multi-agent swarm.
