karea_unlink_jira · Karea MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What karea_unlink_jira does on Karea

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why karea_unlink_jira needs a policy

This tool removes an association (link) between a Karea task and a JIRA issue. While it deletes a relationship, this is a reversible write operation (the link can be re-added), not a destructive deletion of the task or JIRA issue itself. It modifies task metadata by unlinking external references.
