WHAT IT DOES

What publish_partial does on Portkey Admin

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

RISK

Why publish_partial is rated Medium

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

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs publish_partial safely

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

publish_partial Rate-limited

publish_partial 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 Portkey Admin, apply this rule, and every publish_partial call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about publish_partial

What does the publish_partial tool do? +

Publish a specific partial version as the default, unlike update_prompt_partial which creates a new draft without activating it. Use after list_partial_versions to pick a version_id; this immediately changes what {{> partial_name}} resolves to for all prompts and replaces the previously active version without a rollback path. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Portkey Admin MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on publish_partial? +

Register the Portkey Admin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for publish_partial: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Portkey Admin. Nothing to install.

What risk level is publish_partial? +

publish_partial is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit publish_partial? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the publish_partial rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block publish_partial completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for publish_partial. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides publish_partial? +

publish_partial is provided by the Portkey Admin MCP server (codeswhat/portkey-admin-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
