CURABIS MCP: Agents Must Not Write Business Process Status Fields
Description
MCP agents must only write developer-managed tracking fields — never fields that drive business process workflows such as invoicing, approval, or time registration. Writing a business status field from an agent can block downstream operations for users working in Business Central.
The Distinction
| Field type |
Examples |
Agent may write |
| Developer tracking |
gitHubDevStatus, gitHubBranch |
Yes |
| Business process status |
Task Status (Accepted, In progress, Done) |
Never |
Developer tracking fields are independent of BC workflow. Business process status fields control what users can do — for example, a task marked as ready for invoicing cannot receive new time entries.
Requirements
- API pages exposed to MCP agents must mark business status fields as
Editable = false
- Agent instructions (
.agent.md files) must explicitly list which fields the agent may write
- Any field that affects time registration, posting, approval, or invoicing is a business process field and must be read-only for agents
- Developer-managed fields (GitHub dev status, branch, comments) are the only writable surface
Example Agent Instruction
Write only gitHubDevStatus and gitHubBranch on tasks.
Never write Status — it controls the invoicing workflow.
Verification
For each API page with write access, verify that fields controlling BC workflow transitions carry Editable = false. Review the agent instruction file to confirm it names the allowed writable fields explicitly and prohibits status fields.
