WHAT IT DOES

What update-proxy does on AdsPower LocalAPI MCP Server

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

RISK

Why update-proxy is rated Medium

The tool updates proxy configuration, which reversibly modifies data. This is a Write operation rather than Read (no querying), Execute (no command execution), Destructive (changes are reversible), or Financial. Severity is medium because misconfigured proxies could disrupt browser automation or redirect traffic, but the impact is limited to the profile's network layer and is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update-proxy' indicates modification of proxy settings. Sibling tools include 'create-proxy' and proxy management operations, confirming this server manages network proxy configurations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update-proxy safely

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

update-proxy Rate-limited

update-proxy 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.
