solve-sudoku · Soduku Solver MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What solve-sudoku does on Soduku Solver MCP Server

AI agents invoke solve-sudoku to trigger actions in Soduku Solver 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 solve-sudoku needs a policy

The tool executes a Sudoku-solving algorithm, which is a computational operation. It doesn't read stored data, write/modify persistent data, delete anything, or involve finances. It takes a puzzle as input and produces a solution, making it an Execute-category tool. Blast radius is very low since it only performs bounded computation on a puzzle input with no side effects on external systems.
