WHAT IT DOES

What update_client does on Acronis Platform

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`body`	object	—	Request body (JSON object)
`path`	object	Yes	URI path parameters

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why update_client is rated Medium

An AI agent can call update_client faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Acronis Platform by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_client safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Acronis Platform, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For update_client, this is the rule to start with:

update_client Rate-limited

update_client 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.
