deactivatePage · AEM MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What deactivatePage does on AEM MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why deactivatePage needs a policy

Deactivating/unpublishing a page removes it from public visibility but is typically reversible (the page can be republished). This is a Write-level operation with high severity because unpublishing content can have significant business impact, but it does not irreversibly delete data.

Verdict

deactivatePage Rate-limited

deactivatePage stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
