# file_write_commit

Finalize an upload as an app file (create or overwrite by path) — the chunked equivalent of file_write. The upload is consumed either way; on failure, restart from file_write_begin.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "file_write_commit",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why file_write_commit is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies files persistently in the app's file system. While it can overwrite existing files, the operation is reversible (a subsequent write can change it back), distinguishing it from a Destructive delete operation. The 'high' severity reflects that an AI agent could overwrite critical application files, configurations, or user data if provided malicious or incorrect file paths and content.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'create or overwrite by path' and 'Finalize an upload as an app file.' The use of 'overwrite' and 'commit' indicates data modification capability."

## Use case

AI agents use file_write_commit to create or update resources in Open Mcp Apps, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Open Mcp Apps environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Open Mcp Apps:
