assets.addObjectReference · Gojira MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What assets.addObjectReference does on Gojira

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why assets.addObjectReference needs a policy

This tool creates new data (object references/relationships) in the Assets CMDB system, which is a write operation. It is not destructive (references can be removed), not financial, and not Execute (no arbitrary code/command execution). Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt asset relationship data and impact dependency tracking, but the effects are reversible via reference deletion.

From the tool's definition 'Add a reference between two Assets objects' — creates a new relationship/link between existing CMDB objects, modifying their state reversibly.

Verdict

assets.addObjectReference Rate-limited

assets.addObjectReference 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.
