redirect_add · Voog MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What redirect_add does on Voog

AI agents use redirect_add 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 redirect_add needs a policy

The tool creates a new redirect rule, which is a reversible modification to CMS configuration data. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a redirect rule' with source and destination paths. This creates a new redirect configuration in the CMS, modifying the site's routing behavior.

Verdict

redirect_add Rate-limited

redirect_add 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.
