What update_service_account_token does on Doit
AI agents use update_service_account_token to create or update resources in Doit, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Doit environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Yes | |
state | string | Yes | `active` to enable the token, `disabled` to stop it authenticating. Any other value, `deleted` and `expired` included, returns `400`. Re-enabling a token whose |
dryRun | boolean | — | |
Idempotency-Key | string | Yes | |
customerContext | string | — | Scope the request to a specific customer by ID. Required for DoiT employees (whose token isn't tied to a single customer); omit for direct customer users. |
serviceAccountId | string | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why update_service_account_token is rated Medium
An AI agent can call update_service_account_token faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Doit by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs update_service_account_token safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Doit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For update_service_account_token, this is the rule to start with:
update_service_account_token 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 Doit, apply this rule, and every update_service_account_token call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about update_service_account_token
Manage non-human identities whose API tokens call the DoiT API with a fixed set of permissions. Moves the token between active and disabled by setting state. Disabling takes effect immediately: the token stops authenticating until it is re-enabled. Setting the state a token already has succeeds and changes nothing. The two directions are not symmetric. Disabling a token whose expiry has passed succeeds, but re-enabling an expired token returns 422 — expiry is final, and a new token has to be created instead. deleted and expired are not accepted values: a token is deleted through the delete operation, and expires on its own. With dryRun=true nothing is written and the response body is the token as it would look after the change, so a 422 here means a real request would also be refused. Requires the serviceAccountManager permission. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Doit MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
update_service_account_token accepts 6 parameters: id, state, dryRun, Idempotency-Key, customerContext, serviceAccountId. Required: id, state, Idempotency-Key, serviceAccountId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Doit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_service_account_token: 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 Doit. Nothing to install.
update_service_account_token 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 update_service_account_token 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 update_service_account_token. 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.
update_service_account_token is provided by the Doit MCP server (@doitintl/doit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
