WHAT IT DOES

What set_app_entry_file does on FlowDot MCP Server

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

RISK

Why set_app_entry_file is rated Medium

This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies data (app configuration state) in a reversible manner. It does not retrieve data (Read), execute arbitrary code (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial).

From the tool's definition The tool 'Set a file as the entry point for a multi-file FlowDot app' modifies app configuration by changing which file is the entry point.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_app_entry_file safely

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

set_app_entry_file Rate-limited

set_app_entry_file 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.
