article_publish · Voog MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What article_publish does on Voog

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why article_publish needs a policy

Publishing an article in a CMS creates or modifies data reversibly—the published state can be reverted by unpublishing. This is a Write operation rather than Execute because it performs a specific CMS operation (state transition) rather than arbitrary code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates 'Publish an article' which modifies article status from draft/unpublished to published state. The incomplete description mentions autosave copying behavior suggesting state transitions in a CMS context.

Verdict

article_publish Rate-limited

article_publish 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.
