retry_import_job · Sanka MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What retry_import_job does on Sanka MCP Server

AI agents invoke retry_import_job to trigger actions in Sanka MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why retry_import_job needs a policy

This tool re-triggers an import job execution. It causes an external operation to run again (importing data), which classifies it as Execute. The blast radius is medium — misuse could cause duplicate or unintended data imports, but it is not inherently destructive or financial in nature.

From the tool's definition Retry a failed, canceled, or otherwise terminal import job
