create_class_diagram · StarUML MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_class_diagram does on StarUML MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_class_diagram needs a policy

Based on the naming convention consistent with sibling tools (create_activity_diagram, create_er_diagram, etc.) and the server's purpose of generating UML diagrams, this tool most likely creates a class diagram in StarUML. This is a Write operation as it creates new diagram content. The description is empty, which lowers confidence slightly, but the pattern is clear from context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_class_diagram' and server context 'generating UML diagrams (use case, class, sequence, ER, etc.)' — sibling tools follow a create_* pattern for diagram generation.
