# monitor_update

Update frequency, pause state, or webhook Update frequency, pause state, or webhook configuration. The change is recorded immediately in the monitor service database (scheduling authority) and the external changedetection watch is reconciled asynchronously and with bounded retries; the response monitor object carries sync_state/sync_next_retry_at/sync_error_reason so a degraded engine (for example, a failed pause) is truthful and visible rather than silently dropped. HTTP: PATCH /v1/monitors/{id}

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "monitor_update",
    "arguments": {
      "id": "<id>",
      "body": {}
    }
  }
}
```

## Why monitor_update is rated Low

Even though monitor_update only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Accepts raw HTML/template content (body)

## Use case

AI agents call monitor_update to retrieve information from ReplyNodes without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ReplyNodes:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "monitor_update": {}
  }
}
```
