organize_comments · TypeScript Tools MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What organize_comments does on TypeScript Tools MCP

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why organize_comments needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies source code reversibly (comments are reordered and deduplicated). This is a Write operation: it changes file content but does not delete code or execute arbitrary logic. The severity is medium because while comment reorganization is generally safe and reversible, it modifies source files which could affect code review, documentation, or tooling that depends on comment positioning.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it modifies TypeScript files by 'moving file-level comments to the top and removing duplicates' — this involves rewriting file content.
