Why agents_trigger_update is rated Medium
This tool modifies an existing AI agent trigger configuration. It's a reversible update/write operation (fields can be changed back), not destructive deletion. However, misconfiguration of agent triggers in a unified inbox (WhatsApp, Telegram, Email, voice) could cause unintended automated messaging behavior, warranting medium severity.

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.
