WHAT IT DOES

What create_suborder does on Tracelink MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_suborder needs a policy

This tool creates a new suborder linked to an existing order. Creation of data entities is a Write operation. The severity is medium because suborder creation modifies business-critical order data and could affect inventory, billing, or fulfillment workflows if misused by an agent, but the action is reversible (suborders can typically be deleted or cancelled).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_suborder' and description 'Opretter en underordre på en eksisterende ordre' (Danish: 'Creates a suborder on an existing order') indicate creation of a new subordinate order entity, which is a reversible modification of data.
