Why update_poll is rated Medium
This tool modifies poll settings in a reversible manner. It creates or updates data (the poll configuration) without permanently deleting information or triggering financial transactions or code execution. The blast radius is medium because misconfiguration of poll expiration or other settings could affect shared collaboration objects, but changes remain reversible through subsequent updates.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs update_poll safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For update_poll, this is the rule to start with:
update_poll 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 AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server, apply this rule, and every update_poll call is checked against it from then on.
