node_relocate · Voog MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What node_relocate does on Voog

AI agents use node_relocate 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 node_relocate needs a policy

The tool modifies node position within a content tree, which is reversible. While it affects content organization and could impact site structure, it does not delete data (would be Destructive) or execute arbitrary code (would be Execute). The incomplete description ('relative to a...') reduces confidence slightly, but the verb 'relocate' clearly indicates a data modification operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'node_relocate' and description 'Relocate a node to a precise position relative to a' indicate modification of node structure/positioning within the CMS content hierarchy.

Verdict

node_relocate Rate-limited

node_relocate 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.
