|---|---|---|---|
year | number | — | New year for the objective (e.g., 2026) |
title | string | — | New title for the objective |
companyId | string | Yes | FreedomOS company id to act within (you must be a member). Required for company-scoped tools. |

Why update_objective is rated Medium
This tool modifies OKR (Objectives and Key Results) data reversibly—updating titles, descriptions, and year assignments. These changes can be undone by subsequent updates.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Update[s] an existing objective's title, description, or year' and is explicitly labeled '[write-tier]' in the server documentation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs update_objective 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 update_objective, this is the rule to start with:
update_objective 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 update_objective call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about update_objective
Update an existing objective's title, description, or year. Identify by objective_id or objective_title (preferred). If the title matches more than one active objective it refuses and lists them — pass objective_id to disambiguate. Use when the operator wants to rename or reword an objective or move it to another year — the OKR edit door for agents. [write-tier — first use may require a manager's approval; a from-now-on approval makes future calls seamless, a just-once approval re-asks next time.]. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Freedom Mcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
update_objective accepts 6 parameters: year, title, companyId, description, objective_id, objective_title. Required: companyId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Freedom MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_objective: 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 Freedom Mcp. Nothing to install.
update_objective is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_objective 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_objective. 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.
update_objective is provided by the Freedom MCP server (https://twuluxmoognlwtmaoqgo.supabase.co/functions/v1/freedom-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
