export_will · WAKE Protocol MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What export_will does on WAKE Protocol

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why export_will needs a policy

An AI agent can call export_will faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in WAKE Protocol by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

export_will Rate-limited

export_will 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.
