RISK

Why projects_set_description is rated Medium

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

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs projects_set_description safely

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

projects_set_description Rate-limited

projects_set_description 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.
