WHAT IT DOES

What connect_project_folder does on Metis Public Health

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

RISK

Why connect_project_folder is rated Medium

The tool appears to create or modify a relationship/configuration entry (connecting a folder to the project), which qualifies as a Write operation. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could lead to unintended data access patterns or folder exposure, but the operation itself is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'connect_project_folder' suggests establishing a persistent link or binding between the MCP server and a local file system directory. The verb 'connect' implies a state-changing operation that modifies the server's configuration or internal mappings.
