# update_recipe_step Update a step Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `update_recipe_step`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/update-recipe-step ## Facts - Tool: `update_recipe_step` - Server: FlowDot MCP Server (`flowdot-llc/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/flowdot-llc/mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update_recipe_step", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update_recipe_step is rated Medium This tool modifies recipe steps within the FlowDot platform, which is a reversible change (steps can be updated again or reverted). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial). The medium severity reflects that misconfiguration of workflow steps could disrupt automated processes, but the effect is limited to a single recipe component and remains reversible. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_recipe_step' and description 'Update a step' indicate modification of existing data within a recipe workflow. The verb 'update' is explicitly a write operation that alters configuration or content reversibly." ## Use case AI agents use update_recipe_step 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FlowDot MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "update_recipe_step": { "limits": [ { "counter": "update_recipe_step_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on FlowDot MCP Server (206) - `browser_act` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-act.md - `cancel_execution` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/cancel-execution.md - `delete_agent_character` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-agent-character.md - `delete_app` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-app.md - `delete_app_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-app-file.md - `delete_connection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-connection.md - `delete_custom_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-custom-node.md - `delete_goal` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal.md - `delete_goal_milestone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal-milestone.md - `delete_goal_task` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal-task.md - `delete_image` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-image.md - `delete_input_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-input-preset.md - `delete_knowledge_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-knowledge-category.md - `delete_knowledge_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-knowledge-document.md - `delete_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-node.md - `delete_recipe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe.md - `delete_recipe_step` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe-step.md - `delete_recipe_store` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe-store.md - `delete_workflow` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-workflow.md - `email_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/email-delete.md - `mcp__flowdot__delete_agent_toolkit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--delete-agent-toolkit.md - `mcp__flowdot__delete_toolkit_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--delete-toolkit-tool.md - `mcp__flowdot__uninstall_toolkit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--uninstall-toolkit.md - `panic_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/panic-clear.md - `revoke_kb_access` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/revoke-kb-access.md - `unlink_property_kb_source` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/unlink-property-kb-source.md - `browser_launch` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-launch.md - `browser_navigate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-navigate.md - `browser_sequence` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-sequence.md - `browser_wait_for` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-wait-for.md - …and 176 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
