WHAT IT DOES

What update_note does on Iconnect

AI agents use update_note 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.

RISK

Why update_note is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing data by overwriting the full content of a note, which is reversible in principle (the note still exists), but the warning about attachments being lost introduces a partially destructive element.

From the tool's definition 'Replace the entire body of an existing note. WARNING: This overwrites all content. Attachments may be lost.'

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_note safely

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

update_note Rate-limited

update_note 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.
