Why agents_trigger_update is rated Medium
This tool modifies an existing AI agent trigger configuration. It's a reversible write operation (the trigger can be updated again), but misuse could cause agents to behave unexpectedly — e.g., triggering on wrong conditions, silencing important alerts, or misdirecting message routing across WhatsApp, Telegram, Email, or voice channels.

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