Why autotask_update_company_site_configuration needs a policy

This tool modifies company site configuration settings reversibly (configuration can be changed again). It is not destructive (data is not deleted), not financial, and not code execution. The 'medium' severity reflects the moderate blast radius: misconfiguration could disrupt operations or expose settings, but changes are reversible via subsequent updates. High confidence due to explicit 'update' action word.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'update'; description states 'Update company site configuration,' indicating modification of existing data.

POLICY

How to control autotask_update_company_site_configuration

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Autotask, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for autotask_update_company_site_configuration:

policy.json

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

autotask_update_company_site_configuration 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.

Create a free account and register Autotask — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
