+### Authorization and confirmation over MCP (12.3.0+)
+
+`tools/call` applies the same gates as the chat orchestrator, in this order:
+
+1. **Role filter** — the tool must be in the user's set (`AiToolRegistry.forUser()`).
+2. **Tool policies** — the admin's `aiToolPolicies` rules for this call: `deny` answers an
+   error result, `ask` asks in step 4 whatever else is configured.
+3. **`authorize()`** — the tool's data-level check on the call's arguments. A refusal, a
+   thrown error or an `allowed` that is not `true` answers an error result; nothing runs.
+4. **Confirmation** — a `destructive` tool always, a `mutating` tool when
+   `ai.confirmation.mutating` says so (`enforced`, else `default`; MCP has no per-request
+   `requireConfirmation`), as long as MCP asks this user (below). The server asks through
+   **MCP elicitation** (a yes/no form the client shows) and runs the tool only on an
+   explicit yes. A no, a cancelled dialog, an error or a timeout (5 minutes) means "not
+   run". A client without the `elicitation` capability gets an error result instead of an
+   unconfirmed run.
+5. **`execute()`** — with `context.authorization` from step 3.
+
+**Whether MCP asks** is a server default each user may switch for themselves, like a
+"bypass permissions" mode:
+
+| `ai.mcp.confirmation`                | Asks a user who has not chosen | A user's own switch                          |
+| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| unset, `true`, `{}`                  | yes                            | may switch it off                            |

+
+The user's switch is `PUT /ai/settings` with `{ mcpConfirmation: false }` (GraphQL
+`updateAiSettings`), read back with `GET /ai/settings` (`aiSettings`), which answers the
+effective value and `mcpConfirmationEnforced` so a UI can show the switch disabled. It is
+stored per user (`aiUserSettings`, one record per user) and touches nobody else's calls.
+Only `false` switches the default off and only `enforced: true` enforces — a misspelt value
+never relaxes the gate. `authorize()` and the admin's `deny` / `ask` rules apply whatever
+the switch says.
+
+`tools/list` gives a `destructive` tool `annotations: { destructiveHint: true, readOnlyHint: false }`
+and a `mutating` one `{ destructiveHint: false, readOnlyHint: false }` — hints for the client's own
+UI, not a security boundary. A tool with neither flag carries no annotations: it may still write,
+so it is never advertised as read-only, and clients keep the spec's cautious defaults.
+
+The confirmation keeps the model from acting without the user; it cannot stop a hostile
+client, which holds the user's credential and could call the API directly. The boundary
+against that stays the role filter, `authorize()` and the `CrudService` inside `execute()`.
