RISK

Why widgets_update is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating widget settings (name, theme, auto-reply mode, etc.). Changes can be reverted by updating again with different values. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'widgets_update' and description states 'Update an existing livechat widget configuration' and 'Only provided fields will be updated.' This indicates modification of existing data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs widgets_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 widgets_update, this is the rule to start with:

widgets_update Rate-limited

widgets_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.

          "counter": "widgets_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 widgets_update call is checked against it from then on.
