Edit an existing pending proposal and approve it in one step. Provide exactly one edit field matching the proposal type: new_threshold for threshold_adjust, new_ttl_seconds for tool_ttl_adjust. Invalidate proposals are not editable.

AI agents use cache_edit_and_approve_proposal to create or modify resources in Betterdb. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call cache_edit_and_approve_proposal repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Betterdb.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Edit an existing pending proposal and approve it in one step. Provide exactly one edit field matching the proposal type: new_threshold for threshold_adjust, new_ttl_seconds for tool_ttl_adjust. Invalidate proposals are not editable.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Betterdb MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Betterdb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cache_edit_and_approve_proposal: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Betterdb. Nothing to install.
cache_edit_and_approve_proposal is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cache_edit_and_approve_proposal rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for cache_edit_and_approve_proposal. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
cache_edit_and_approve_proposal is provided by the Betterdb MCP server (@betterdb/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
