What update_site_content does on A3plus
AI agents use update_site_content to create or update resources in A3plus, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your A3plus environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
home | object | — | Home page copy fields to update (any subset). |
about | object | — | About page copy fields to update (any subset). |
siteId | string | Yes | The A3Plus site ID. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why update_site_content is rated Medium

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs update_site_content safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and A3plus, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For update_site_content, this is the rule to start with:
update_site_content stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect A3plus, apply this rule, and every update_site_content call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about update_site_content
Update a site's visitor-facing page copy (home hero, "Why Choose Us" features, post-FAQ CTA block, header nav links, glossary + about page). Changes take effect within a few minutes. Pass home and/or about objects carrying only the fields you want to change; omitted fields are left untouched. Editable home fields: heroTitle, heroSubtitle, ctaText, tagline, metaDescription, shortDescription, featuresHeading, features, ctaSectionHeading, ctaSectionDescription, ctaSectionButtonText, navLinks, glossaryItems, mission, valuesHeading, aboutSubtitle, aboutStoryHeading, faqHeading, packLabels, socialLinks. IMPORTANT: the About page renders from the home object, so aboutSubtitle / aboutStoryHeading / mission / valuesHeading belong under home — putting them under about is accepted but never displayed. packLabels is a flat { slotKey: "translated text" } map for the pack's own UI strings (nav headings, section eyebrows, "Read more", legal link labels…). It MERGES: sending one key leaves the others alone. Use it to fix labels still rendering English on a non-English site — most pack labels are NOT declared in the pack manifest, so this is the only way to override them. Keys must match /^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$/. Editable about fields: aboutTitle, aboutText, aboutParagraphs (array of strings), metaDescription, shortDescription. Brand identity (brandName, industry) is not editable here (use update_project); logo/favicon/hero background image go through update_site_branding. Unknown fields are ignored. It is categorised as a Write tool in the A3plus MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
update_site_content accepts 3 parameters: home, about, siteId. Required: siteId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the A3plus MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_site_content: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches A3plus. Nothing to install.
update_site_content is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_site_content rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_site_content. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
update_site_content is provided by the A3plus MCP server (a3plus-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
