Try governed tool examples

Validate manifests and preview tool calls locally. Dry-runs do not contact the MCP server or change CRM records.

Read with MCP

Download the manifest and request together.

shell
rippflow tools validate mcp.tool.yaml
rippflow tools invoke customer-lookup \
  --input mcp.request.json --tool-manifest mcp.tool.yaml --dry-run

Expected: a valid manifest and a local dry-run result. No customer lookup is performed.

Require approval for CRM writes

Download the manifest and request together.

shell
rippflow tools validate crm.tool.yaml
rippflow tools invoke crm-update \
  --input crm.request.json --tool-manifest crm.tool.yaml --dry-run

The manifest requires approval, crm.customer.write, a budget and an idempotency key. Real calls need an installation and approval bound to the exact input and tool version.
