WHAT IT DOES

What artifacts_update does on Dialogbrain

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`html`	string	Yes	The new full self-contained HTML page (same contract as artifacts.create).
`label`	string	—	Optional human name for this version (e.g. 'Q3 final').
`template`	string	—	Optional: attach/replace the data-driven template (HTML with {{placeholder}} tokens) on this existing artifact, so later artifacts.refresh(data={...}) can re-re
`artifact_id`	integer	Yes	The artifact to republish.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why artifacts_update is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing data (an artifact's HTML content) reversibly by storing new versions while retaining older ones. It is not destructive (versions are kept, not deleted), not financial, and not executable code. It is a write operation that updates content. Severity is medium because modifying shared dashboard content could affect multiple viewers, but the action is versioned and reversible.

From the tool's definition Republish an existing artifact with new HTML. The slug and URL stay the SAME; a new version is stored (older versions are retained up to a cap). Use this to refresh a shared dashboard — anyone with the link sees the new snapshot.

Risk signalsAccepts raw HTML/template content (html)

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs artifacts_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 artifacts_update, this is the rule to start with:

artifacts_update Rate-limited

artifacts_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.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Dialogbrain, apply this rule, and every artifacts_update call is checked against it from then on.
