sales_report · ERP-File MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What sales_report does on ERP-File MCP Server

AI agents call sales_report to retrieve information from ERP-File MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why sales_report needs a policy

Sales reports are typically generated from existing ERP/financial data without modification. No description provided, but the naming convention, server purpose (querying and accessing data), and sibling tool patterns all indicate this retrieves or queries sales information. Report generation tools do not normally modify or delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sales_report' and server context (ERP-File MCP Server for querying ERP data) strongly suggest data retrieval. Sibling tools like 'get_sheet_data', 'get_sheet_summary', 'list_sheets', and 'search_sheet' are all Read operations.
