jsm.updateQueue · Gojira MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What jsm.updateQueue does on Gojira

AI agents use jsm.updateQueue 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 jsm.updateQueue needs a policy

The tool modifies queue configuration in JSM, which is a reversible change. While misconfiguration could disrupt service delivery (e.g., routing requests to wrong queues, disabling SLA monitoring), the blast radius is limited to queue operations and configuration, not system-wide destruction.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'jsm.updateQueue' with description 'Update a queue' indicates modification of Jira Service Management queue configuration. The verb 'update' is reversible and does not delete or overwrite irreversibly.
