What run_dashboard_query does on Deloc
AI agents invoke run_dashboard_query to trigger actions in Deloc. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why run_dashboard_query is rated High
This tool triggers execution of a query with observable side effects (writing results to the app), which goes beyond passive data retrieval. While it modifies app state by writing query results, it is not irreversible (results can be re-run or overwritten) and does not delete data, so Execute is more appropriate than Destructive or Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_dashboard_query' paired with description stating it 'Run[s] a scheduled dashboard query immediately' and 'Writes the result to the app'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs run_dashboard_query safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Deloc, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run_dashboard_query, this is the rule to start with:
run_dashboard_query stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Deloc, apply this rule, and every run_dashboard_query call is checked against it from then on.
