protect_bulk · Thales Cdsp Crdp MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What protect_bulk does on Thales Cdsp Crdp

AI agents use protect_bulk to create or update resources in Thales Cdsp Crdp — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Thales Cdsp Crdp environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why protect_bulk needs a policy

This tool transforms sensitive data into protected form (encryption/tokenization) in bulk. It writes/modifies data representations but the operation is reversible (data can be revealed), placing it in the Write category. Severity is high because misuse could encrypt large volumes of data incorrectly or expose it to unintended protection schemes, and bulk operations amplify the blast radius.

From the tool's definition 'Protect multiple data items in a single batch operation' — encrypts/tokenizes data, modifying it in a reversible way (protection can be revealed via reveal_bulk/reveal_data)
