Frequently asked questions
How can I see all active cost guardrails for my organization?
You can use the list_guardrails tool by providing your organization slug. The agent will return a list of all configured thresholds, including cost increase limits and whether they block PRs.
Can I enforce mandatory tags for my cloud resources using this server?
Yes! Use the update_tagging_policy tool to define mandatory tag keys and allowed values. This helps maintain standards across all your repositories.
Is it possible to block expensive Pull Requests automatically?
Absolutely. When using create_guardrail or update_guardrail, you can set the blockPr parameter to true. This ensures that any infrastructure change exceeding your budget cannot be merged without review.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
