product_duplicate · Voog MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What product_duplicate does on Voog

AI agents use product_duplicate 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 product_duplicate needs a policy

The tool creates a copy of an existing product in an ecommerce system. This is a Write operation because it creates new data reversibly (the duplicate can be edited or deleted). While it modifies system state, it does not irreversibly destroy data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or handle payments (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Duplicate a product (POST /admin/api/ecommerce/v1/products/' — the POST method and duplication action indicate data creation/modification without deletion or financial transaction.
