WHAT IT DOES

What set_egress_policy does on Denkopsai

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

Parameter	Type	Required
`enabled`	boolean	Yes
`allowlist`	array	Yes
`project_id`	string	Yes

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_egress_policy is rated Medium

This tool modifies security infrastructure (egress policies) but does not irreversibly delete data, nor does it execute arbitrary code or move money. It is a Write operation that creates/modifies configuration settings.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set a project's egress allow-list' and 'Allow-list edits apply live', indicating modification of security policy configuration. The tool creates or modifies network policy settings that are applied immediately or on next deploy.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_egress_policy safely

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

set_egress_policy Rate-limited

set_egress_policy 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 Denkopsai, apply this rule, and every set_egress_policy call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on set_egress_policy? +

Register the Denkopsai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_egress_policy: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Denkopsai. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_egress_policy? +

Can I rate-limit set_egress_policy? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_egress_policy 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.

How do I block set_egress_policy completely? +
