rig_node_update
Configure ONE block (graph node) of a canvas rig in place — 'change step 2's instruction', 'point that block at a live endpoint', 'pin Sonnet on the judge step'. Identify the block by id/label/skill/position; pass only the fields to change (rig_author's node fields) — a MERGE, so tweaking the ins...

What rig_node_update does on Rokha
AI agents use rig_node_update to create or update resources in Rokha, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Rokha environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
url | string | — | |
node | string | Yes | Which block: node id, label, skill name, or 1-based position ('2') |
tool | string | — | |
label | string | — | |
model | string | — | |
skill | string | — | Re-bind the block to this registry skill (optional) |
method | string | — | |
params | object | — | |
rig_id | string | Yes | UUID of the rig |
data_op | string | — | |
expects | string | — | What this step expects from upstream, in plain words |
headers | object | — | Extra HTTP headers for a `url` fetch. |

Why rig_node_update is rated Medium
Modifies canvas rig node configuration reversibly; affects execution flow but not destructively.
From the tool's definition Configure block in place, change instruction, point at endpoint, MERGE tweaking.

The rule that runs rig_node_update safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Rokha, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rig_node_update, this is the rule to start with:
rig_node_update 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 Rokha, apply this rule, and every rig_node_update call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rig_node_update
Configure ONE block (graph node) of a canvas rig in place — 'change step 2's instruction', 'point that block at a live endpoint', 'pin Sonnet on the judge step'. Identify the block by id/label/skill/position; pass only the fields to change (rig_author's node fields) — a MERGE, so tweaking the instruction never wipes a wired endpoint. skill re-resolves the registry binding. The block keeps its id, edges, and canvas position. Returns the fresh block summary; the Builder canvas updates live. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Rokha MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
rig_node_update accepts 12 parameters: url, node, tool, label, model, skill, method, params, rig_id, data_op, expects, headers. Required: node, rig_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Rokha MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rig_node_update: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Rokha. Nothing to install.
rig_node_update is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rig_node_update rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rig_node_update. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
rig_node_update is provided by the Rokha MCP server (https://rokha.ai/mcp/jsonrpc). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
