What upload_library_file does on Freshdesk
AI agents use upload_library_file to create or update resources in Freshdesk, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Freshdesk environment.
Why upload_library_file is rated Medium
Uploading files creates new resources in SharePoint and modifies the state of the document library. This is reversible (files can be deleted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Upload a text file to a SharePoint document library', which is a create/write operation that adds new data to a storage system.

The rule that runs upload_library_file safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freshdesk, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For upload_library_file, this is the rule to start with:
upload_library_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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Freshdesk, apply this rule, and every upload_library_file call is checked against it from then on.
