How to control relocate_employee_desk ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool modifies employee state (desk/workspace assignment) reversibly—relocations can be undone by moving the employee back. While it could cause workplace disruption or stress, it does not delete data, execute code, incur financial costs, or cause irreversible harm. The satirical corporate context reinforces that this simulates reversible administrative action rather than destructive consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'relocate_employee_desk' and description 'Move someone' indicate a modification action that reassigns an employee's physical workspace location.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access relocate_employee_desk gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Hilanet MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for relocate_employee_desk:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "relocate_employee_desk": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "relocate_employee_desk_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

relocate_employee_desk 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Hilanet MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
