Why ack_attention_directive is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by acknowledging/marking a directive. It does not execute arbitrary operations (Execute), destroy data (Destructive), move money (Financial), or merely retrieve data (Read). The reversible nature of acknowledgment (can be undone by unmarking) and the write-tier classification in the description place this in Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'ack_attention_directive' and description states 'Mark a pending attention directive as acked', which modifies the state of a directive record from pending to acknowledged.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ack_attention_directive safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freedom Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ack_attention_directive, this is the rule to start with:
ack_attention_directive 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 Freedom Mcp, apply this rule, and every ack_attention_directive call is checked against it from then on.
