WHAT IT DOES

What kotor_extract_resource does on KotorMCP

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why kotor_extract_resource needs a policy

This tool writes data to the filesystem, which is a Write operation. It creates or modifies files on disk. The severity is medium because it can write files to arbitrary locations depending on arguments, but the server context (KOTOR game files) limits the blast radius somewhat. Confidence is slightly reduced because the description is brief and doesn't clarify overwrite behavior or destination path constraints.
