RISK

Why resources_attach_storage is rated Medium

Attaching storage to a resource creates or modifies an association between a storage resource and an application. This is a Write operation as it establishes a new binding/configuration, but is likely reversible (can be detached). Severity is high because misconfiguration of storage attachments could expose sensitive data or disrupt application availability.

From the tool's definition 'attach-storage' suggests associating a storage resource with an application, which is a write/configuration operation

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

resources_attach_storage Rate-limited

resources_attach_storage 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.
