siprec_ingest_file · Vcon MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What siprec_ingest_file does on Vcon

AI agents invoke siprec_ingest_file to trigger actions in Vcon. 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 siprec_ingest_file needs a policy

siprec_ingest_file 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.
