schemes.updateNotificationScheme · Gojira MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What schemes.updateNotificationScheme does on Gojira

AI agents use schemes.updateNotificationScheme 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 schemes.updateNotificationScheme needs a policy

The tool updates notification scheme settings, which are reversible configuration changes affecting how users are notified of Jira events. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive (the scheme is not deleted, just modified). Severity is high because misconfigured notification schemes could suppress critical alerts or flood users with unwanted notifications, affecting organizational communication workflows.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update a notification scheme.' This modifies an existing configuration object in Jira.
