# update_asset Updates the name and/or description of an existing asset. The URL does not change. At least one of name or description must be provided. Requires authentication with at least content_only scope. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `update_asset`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/de-agentview-agentview-mcp/update-asset ## Facts - Tool: `update_asset` - Server: agentView (`https://agentview.de/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/de-agentview-agentview-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/https://agentview.de/mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 4 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | string | no | New filename for the asset. | | `asset_id` | string | yes | The asset ID to update. | | `description` | string | no | New description for the asset. | | `access_token` | string | no | Optional bearer token; prefer session_request_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": "update_asset", "arguments": { "asset_id": "" } } } ``` ## Why update_asset is rated Medium This tool creates or modifies data (asset metadata) in a reversible manner without deleting or overwriting irreversibly. It falls squarely into the Write category. Severity is medium because an AI agent could modify asset metadata across displays in unintended ways, but the impact is limited to asset naming/descriptions rather than content delivery or financial operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Updates the name and/or description of an existing asset', which is a modification operation. The tool requires authentication and has scope constraints ('content_only'), indicating it modifies data reversibly." Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (access_token) ## Use case AI agents use update_asset to create or update resources in agentView, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your agentView environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
