WHAT IT DOES

What group-update does on Nostr Bray

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

RISK

Why group-update is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies group metadata within a Nostr protocol context (NIP-29 admin events). The update is reversible—metadata can be changed again—and does not delete, execute external code, or move financial assets. It falls squarely into the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'group-update' and description 'Update NIP-29 group metadata' explicitly indicate modification of existing data. The phrase 'Supply only the fields you want to change' confirms reversible mutation rather than deletion or execution of arbitrary code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs group-update safely

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

group-update Rate-limited

group-update 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.
