WHAT IT DOES

What update_goal does on Businys

AI agents use update_goal 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 update_goal is rated Medium

The 'update' verb clearly indicates a Write operation that modifies data reversibly. This is not Read (no retrieval-only semantics), not Execute (no code/command execution evident), not Destructive (update is reversible), not Financial (no money movement indicated).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_goal' with description 'Update a goal' indicates modification of existing data. The sibling tools suggest this server manages business data for independent professionals including contracts, invoices, and fitness/wellness tracking.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_goal Rate-limited

update_goal 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.
