Why set_talentlms_user_status needs a policy

This tool modifies user state in an external system (TalentLMS) but does not irreversibly delete data or move money. Deactivation is reversible—users can be reactivated—placing it in the Write category rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Activate or deactivate a user in TalentLMS' — direct modification of user account status without permanent deletion. The action is reversible (users can be reactivated after deactivation).

POLICY

How to control set_talentlms_user_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Apple Shortcuts, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for set_talentlms_user_status:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_talentlms_user_status": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_talentlms_user_status_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

set_talentlms_user_status 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.

Create a free account and register Apple Shortcuts — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
