WHAT IT DOES

What update_api_key does on Sequenzy Mcp

AI agents use update_api_key to create or update resources in Sequenzy Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sequenzy Mcp environment.

RISK

Why update_api_key is rated Medium

Modifies API key permissions and metadata reversibly; high blast radius if misconfigured to grant excessive access.

From the tool's definition Rename API key, replace permissions in place, modify scopes

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_api_key safely

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

update_api_key Rate-limited

update_api_key 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 update_api_key

What does the update_api_key tool do? +

Rename a company-scoped API key or replace its permissions in place, without issuing a new key. Use this when a call fails with a missing-scope error: the key value stays the same, so no client has to be re-wired, and added permissions apply on the next retry. Removed permissions may remain usable for up to five minutes while API caches expire. preset and scopes REPLACE the current selection rather than merging into it - call list_api_keys first and pass the full set you want. Returns non-secret metadata only. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sequenzy Mcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on update_api_key? +

Register the Sequenzy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_api_key: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sequenzy Mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is update_api_key? +

update_api_key is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit update_api_key? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_api_key rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block update_api_key completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_api_key. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides update_api_key? +

update_api_key is provided by the Sequenzy MCP server (Sequenzy/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
