WHAT IT DOES

What arc_process_natural_language does on ARC Config MCP Server

AI agents invoke arc_process_natural_language to trigger actions in ARC Config 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 arc_process_natural_language needs a policy

A natural language processing tool that routes commands to an ARC controller management system can trigger any of the sibling tools, including destructive ones like arc_cleanup_installation or high-impact ones like arc_deploy_runners_hybrid. Since it interprets ambiguous queries and could execute arbitrary management operations, Execute is the most appropriate category given the broad blast radius.

From the tool's definition 'Handle complex or ambiguous ARC-related queries that require interpretation and analysis' — the tool interprets and dispatches natural language commands to an ARC management system that includes installation, scaling, cleanup, and deployment operations
