# set_next_password A write tool on the CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `set_next_password`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/set-next-password ## Facts - Tool: `set_next_password` - Server: CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server (`aaearon/mcp-privilege-cloud`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud.md - Homepage: https://github.com/aaearon/mcp-privilege-cloud - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "set_next_password", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why set_next_password is rated Medium This tool modifies privileged account passwords, which is a reversible Write operation. However, it carries high severity because password changes can temporarily lock out legitimate access, cause authentication failures in dependent systems, or enable privilege escalation if misused by an AI agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_next_password' from CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server indicates credential modification. Sibling tools include 'change_account_password' which is clearly Write." ## Use case AI agents use set_next_password to create or update resources in CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
