## Facts

- Tool: `update_workspace`
- 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_workspace",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why update_workspace is rated Medium

The tool updates workspace settings/configuration, which is a reversible modification operation. This is Write category rather than Execute because it modifies data structures rather than running arbitrary code. Severity is high because updating workspace settings could affect access control, integrations, or billing configurations for an entire workspace, impacting multiple users and services.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_workspace' and description states 'Update a workspace'. This modifies workspace configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents use update_workspace 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**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Portkey Admin:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_workspace": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_workspace_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
