# move_file Move or rename a file or folder to a new location. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `move_file`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/move-file ## Facts - Tool: `move_file` - Server: Iconnect (`iconnect-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect.md - Install: `npx -y iconnect-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/heznpc/iConnect - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "move_file", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why move_file is rated Medium move_file performs Write-category operations: it modifies file/folder metadata and locations. Although move operations are technically reversible (files can be moved back), the high severity reflects the risk that an AI agent could move critical system files, application files, or user data to unexpected locations, causing application failures, data loss visibility, or system instability. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Move or rename a file or folder to a new location.' This is a reversible file system operation that modifies the state of the filesystem by changing file/folder locations and names." ## Use case AI agents use move_file to create or update resources in Iconnect, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iconnect environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Iconnect: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "move_file": { "limits": [ { "counter": "move_file_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Iconnect (278) - `delete_contact` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-contact.md - `delete_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-event.md - `delete_note` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-note.md - `delete_photos` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-photos.md - `delete_playlist` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-playlist.md - `delete_reminder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-reminder.md - `delete_reminder_list` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-reminder-list.md - `delete_shortcut` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/delete-shortcut.md - `memory_forget` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/memory-forget.md - `move_note` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/move-note.md - `remove_from_playlist` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/remove-from-playlist.md - `semantic_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/semantic-clear.md - `spotlight_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/spotlight-clear.md - `trash_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/trash-file.md - `activate_tab` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/activate-tab.md - `ai_agent` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/ai-agent.md - `ai_chat` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/ai-chat.md - `ai_plan_metrics` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/ai-plan-metrics.md - `connect_bluetooth` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/connect-bluetooth.md - `disconnect_bluetooth` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/disconnect-bluetooth.md - `edit_shortcut` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/edit-shortcut.md - `event_subscribe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/event-subscribe.md - `generate_image` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/generate-image.md - `generate_text` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/generate-text.md - `gws_raw` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/gws-raw.md - `import_shortcut` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/import-shortcut.md - `keynote_start_slideshow` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/keynote-start-slideshow.md - `launch_app` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/launch-app.md - `local_llm_generate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/local-llm-generate.md - `minimize_window` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect/minimize-window.md - …and 248 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-heznpc-iconnect.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
