WHAT IT DOES

What create_engagement does on Businys

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

RISK

Why create_engagement is rated Medium

This tool creates new data records reversibly - a consulting engagement can be modified, archived (as evidenced by sibling tool 'archive_contract'), or deleted. It does not execute external code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_engagement' with description 'Create a new consulting engagement' indicates creation of a new record with structured data (type field supporting multiple predefined options: advisory, implementation, assessment, strategy, training, retainer).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_engagement safely

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

create_engagement Rate-limited

create_engagement 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.
