coda_push_button · Coda MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What coda_push_button does on Coda MCP Server

AI agents invoke coda_push_button to trigger actions in Coda MCP Server. 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 coda_push_button needs a policy

Triggering a Coda button executes an automation or action defined by that button, which could perform arbitrary operations (write, delete, send emails, call APIs, etc.). The effects depend on what the button is configured to do, making this an Execute-category tool. Severity is high because button automations can have wide-ranging and potentially irreversible side effects.

From the tool's definition "Déclenche un bouton Coda sur une ligne spécifique" — 'Déclenche' means 'triggers', indicating execution of a button action on a specific row
