publish_job · Unipile MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What publish_job does on Unipile

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why publish_job needs a policy

An AI agent can call publish_job faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Unipile by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Verdict

publish_job Rate-limited

publish_job 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.
