WHAT IT DOES

What activate_invoice does on Sanka MCP Server

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

RISK

Why activate_invoice is rated Medium

The tool performs a reversible state change on a financial document (invoice), moving it from archived to active status. While it affects an invoice (which has financial implications), the action itself is a metadata/status update rather than moving money or creating financial obligations. The change is reversible (the invoice could be re-archived). This qualifies as Write rather than Financial or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Restore an archived invoice to active usage status' — this modifies the state of an invoice record by changing it from archived to active.

activate_invoice Rate-limited

activate_invoice 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.
