WHAT IT DOES

What duplicate_program does on Businys

AI agents use duplicate_program 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 duplicate_program is rated Medium

Duplicating a program creates a new copy of existing data, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete, execute code, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius is low since it only creates a copy and does not modify the original.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs duplicate_program 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 duplicate_program, this is the rule to start with:

duplicate_program Rate-limited

duplicate_program 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 Businys, apply this rule, and every duplicate_program call is checked against it from then on.
