What set_password does on Deloc
AI agents use set_password to create or update resources in Deloc, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Deloc environment.
Why set_password is rated Medium
This tool modifies the security configuration of a deployed app by setting, changing, or removing password protection. This is a reversible write operation — the password can be set again if removed. However, misuse could expose a previously protected app to the public, making the blast radius medium.

The rule that runs set_password 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 set_password, this is the rule to start with:
set_password 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 Deloc, apply this rule, and every set_password call is checked against it from then on.

set_password is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_password rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_password. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
