set_day · WorkTracker MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What set_day does on WorkTracker MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_day needs a policy

The tool likely creates or modifies daily schedule data based on naming patterns and context from related tools. This is reversible (Write category) rather than destructive since 'reset_day' exists as a separate tool. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt a user's schedule or time tracking records, but the blast radius is typically limited to one user's data. Lower confidence due to missing description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_day' combined with sibling tools like 'assign_time', 'get_day', and 'reset_day' indicates this modifies schedule data. Sibling tool 'reset_day' suggests day-level state changes are possible. Description is empty, limiting confidence.

Verdict

set_day Rate-limited

set_day 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.
