Why update_demand_endpoint is rated Medium
This tool modifies ad campaign infrastructure by updating demand endpoint settings. While reversible (Write rather than Destructive), misuse could redirect ad traffic, modify integrations, or disrupt campaign delivery. Severity is medium because the blast radius is limited to endpoint configuration rather than financial transactions or irreversible data loss, though it could impact ad delivery operations.

The rule that runs update_demand_endpoint safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AdButler, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For update_demand_endpoint, this is the rule to start with:
update_demand_endpoint 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 AdButler, apply this rule, and every update_demand_endpoint call is checked against it from then on.
