Why set_active_brand is rated Medium

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_active_brand safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Postking Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_active_brand, this is the rule to start with:
set_active_brand 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 Postking Mcp, apply this rule, and every set_active_brand call is checked against it from then on.
