initZentao · ZenTao MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What initZentao does on ZenTao MCP Server

AI agents invoke initZentao to trigger actions in ZenTao MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why initZentao needs a policy

This tool initializes a connection and performs authentication (login) to the ZenTao system. It triggers an external operation (establishing a session via REST API with credentials), which goes beyond a simple read. It's not purely destructive or financial, but it executes an authentication flow that establishes a session state, placing it in the Execute category.
