WHAT IT DOES

What set_plugin_enabled does on Overlord MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_plugin_enabled needs a policy

This tool modifies the state of a plugin (enabled/disabled) in a C2 framework. This is a reversible write operation, but misuse in a C2 context carries high severity since disabling security or monitoring plugins could blind defenders or disrupt operations. It does not delete or destroy data, so Write is the appropriate category over Destructive.
