What arvan_update_subnet does on ArvanCloud MCP Server
AI agents use arvan_update_subnet to create or update resources in ArvanCloud MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ArvanCloud MCP Server environment.
Why arvan_update_subnet is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing cloud network infrastructure (subnet settings) through configuration changes. While these changes are reversible (Write not Destructive), they affect critical networking infrastructure that could disrupt services if misconfigured by an agent.
From the tool's definition Updates a subnet's configuration parameters including dns_servers, enable_dhcp, and subnet_gateway. These are reversible modifications to network infrastructure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs arvan_update_subnet safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ArvanCloud MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For arvan_update_subnet, this is the rule to start with:
arvan_update_subnet 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 ArvanCloud MCP Server, apply this rule, and every arvan_update_subnet call is checked against it from then on.
