send_bulk_sms · Ileti Merkezi MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What send_bulk_sms does on Ileti Merkezi

AI agents invoke send_bulk_sms to trigger actions in Ileti Merkezi. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why send_bulk_sms needs a policy

Sending bulk SMS triggers external real-world communication operations at scale. It is not purely a write to a local data store; it executes outbound messages to potentially large numbers of recipients, incurring costs and causing irreversible communication side effects. Financial implications exist (SMS costs), but the primary classification is Execute due to the external operation trigger.

From the tool's definition 'Send SMS to multiple recipients' — triggers external SMS delivery operations to multiple recipients via the Ileti Merkezi API
