WHAT IT DOES

What promote_job does on BullMQ MCP Server

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

RISK

Why promote_job is rated Medium

Promoting a delayed job moves it from a delayed state to an active/waiting state, which is a reversible state change that modifies job queue data without deleting anything or executing arbitrary code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs promote_job safely

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

promote_job Rate-limited

promote_job 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.
