WHAT IT DOES

What submit_code_for_linting does on Quack MCP Server

AI agents invoke submit_code_for_linting to trigger actions in Quack 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 submit_code_for_linting needs a policy

Submitting code for linting triggers execution of an external tool (pylint) against the provided code. While linting itself is read-only in nature, running arbitrary Python code through an analysis pipeline can have side effects depending on how the linter evaluates the code.

From the tool's definition 'Submit Python code for linting analysis' — submits code to be actively processed by a linting tool (pylint), triggering external code execution/analysis pipeline
