WHAT IT DOES

What change_password does on instantKOM MCP Server

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

RISK

Why change_password is rated Medium

Changing a password is a Write operation (modifies existing account data). However, it carries high severity because an AI agent misusing this tool could lock out legitimate users by changing their passwords, effectively a privilege escalation or account takeover risk.

From the tool's definition 'Change user password' — modifies account credentials

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs change_password 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 change_password, this is the rule to start with:

change_password Rate-limited

change_password 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.
