Why knowledge_base_update is rated Medium

An AI agent can call knowledge_base_update faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Ghl by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs knowledge_base_update safely

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

knowledge_base_update Rate-limited

knowledge_base_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.

          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ghl, apply this rule, and every knowledge_base_update call is checked against it from then on.
