WHAT IT DOES

What Gpg_Encrypt_File does on Files Com

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

RISK

Why Gpg_Encrypt_File is rated Medium

This tool writes encrypted data to the filesystem by design. While encryption itself is a computational operation, the primary effect is persisting new encrypted file data to storage. This is reversible (the file can be deleted or overwritten later), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Encrypt a file with GPG and save it to a destination path.' The action of saving/writing encrypted content to a destination path constitutes data creation/modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs Gpg_Encrypt_File safely

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

Gpg_Encrypt_File Rate-limited

Gpg_Encrypt_File 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.
