WHAT IT DOES

What revise_plan does on CoWork OS

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

RISK

Why revise_plan is rated Medium

This tool modifies plan/workflow data in a reversible manner (revision, not deletion). The incomplete description ('Use this when you encounter unexpected obstacles,' - note the trailing comma) limits full confidence, but the action of revising represents a Write operation. Severity is medium because plan revisions affect execution behavior but are typically reversible; impact depends on what the plan controls.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'revise_plan' and description 'Revise the execution plan' indicates modification of an existing plan or workflow state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs revise_plan safely

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

revise_plan Rate-limited

revise_plan 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.
