# update_prompt Update an existing prompt and create a new archived version. Only provided fields change, and publish_prompt is what makes the new version active. For multi-message chat prompts pass messages (preferred) or a JSON-encoded array as string. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `update_prompt`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/update-prompt ## Facts - Tool: `update_prompt` - Server: Portkey Admin (`codeswhat/portkey-admin-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/CodesWhat/portkey-admin-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update_prompt", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update_prompt is rated Medium The tool modifies existing prompts by updating specified fields and creating archived versions. This is a Write operation—data is being changed but the action is reversible (prior versions are archived, not destroyed). The severity is medium because incorrect prompt updates could affect AI model behavior and outputs, but the impact is limited to prompts and can be corrected by reverting to archived versions. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update an existing prompt and create a new archived version' with 'Only provided fields change', indicating reversible modification of data." ## Use case AI agents use update_prompt 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
