RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs brc_update_accrual safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Red by Big Red Cloud, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For brc_update_accrual, this is the rule to start with:

brc_update_accrual Rate-limited

brc_update_accrual 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.

FAQ

Questions about brc_update_accrual

What does the brc_update_accrual tool do? +

Updates an existing parent Accrual by id. Use brc_get_accrual first to retrieve the current accrual and timestamp. Child accruals are not exposed by the public API. Do not call with confirmWrite=true until the user has reviewed the preview and explicitly confirmed the update. Requires routeToken from brc_route_request for the matching action workflow. Call brc_route_request first with the user's complete original action request. Retain the returned routeToken through lookup, preview, and confirmation, and pass the same token on the final permitted transactional tool call. Never invent a placeholder token. A routeToken is not permission to post — preview-before-posting and confirmWrite/confirmDelete still apply. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Red by Big Red Cloud MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does brc_update_accrual accept? +

brc_update_accrual accepts 12 parameters: id, total, acCode, procDate, entryDate, reference, timestamp, routeToken, companyName, firstDetail, confirmWrite, secondDetail. Required: id, total, acCode, procDate, entryDate, reference, timestamp, routeToken, companyName. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
