WHAT IT DOES

What appflowy_reorder_pages does on AppFlowy MCP

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why appflowy_reorder_pages needs a policy

Reordering pages is a reversible modification operation that changes the arrangement/sequence of existing content. It falls under Write (modifies data reversibly) rather than Read (no side effects), Execute (runs code/commands), Destructive (cannot be undone), or Financial. The severity is medium because misuse could cause organizational confusion or disrupt workflows, but the operation can be easily reversed.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it can 'Reorder the children of an AppFlowy space or page', which modifies the structure and organization of data within AppFlowy without deleting or creating new content.
