# protect_update_camera_settings A write tool on the UniFi Access MCP MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `protect_update_camera_settings`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-update-camera-settings ## Facts - Tool: `protect_update_camera_settings` - Server: UniFi Access MCP (`pypi:unifi-protect-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:unifi-protect-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/sirkirby/unifi-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "protect_update_camera_settings", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why protect_update_camera_settings is rated Medium The tool modifies camera settings, which is a write operation that can be reversed or corrected. While it affects physical security infrastructure, update operations are less severe than execute (which could trigger recordings or actions) or destructive operations. Confidence is moderate due to empty description and assumption based on naming convention alone. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'protect_update_camera_settings' indicates modification of camera configuration settings. The 'update' verb signals a reversible write operation. No description provided to confirm exact scope." ## Use case AI agents use protect_update_camera_settings to create or update resources in UniFi Access MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your UniFi Access MCP environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
