Why add_bot_tag is rated Medium

The blast radius is limited to adding organizational metadata to a bot resource, making it a Write operation with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_bot_tag' and description 'Add a tag to a bot' indicate a create/modify operation that adds metadata to an existing bot resource.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_bot_tag safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and instantKOM MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_bot_tag, this is the rule to start with:
add_bot_tag 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 instantKOM MCP Server, apply this rule, and every add_bot_tag call is checked against it from then on.
