suggest_code_split · Code Review MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What suggest_code_split does on Code Review

AI agents invoke suggest_code_split to trigger actions in Code Review. 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 suggest_code_split needs a policy

suggest_code_split triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
