Why set_display_privacy_mode is rated Medium
This is a Write operation: it reversibly updates display privacy configuration and audit logs the change. However, it has high severity because misconfiguration could extend exposure of PII-containing displays from 1-hour to 24-hour TTLs, significantly increasing risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data.
From the tool's definition 'Sets the per-display privacy mode' and 'Flipping is audit-logged' indicate the tool modifies configuration state.

The rule that runs set_display_privacy_mode safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and agentView, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_display_privacy_mode, this is the rule to start with:
set_display_privacy_mode 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 agentView, apply this rule, and every set_display_privacy_mode call is checked against it from then on.
