WHAT IT DOES

What updateFolder does on Stable Baseline

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

Parameter	Type	Required
`name`	string	—
`folderId`	string	Yes
`parentId`	string	—
`position`	number	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why updateFolder is rated Medium

The tool modifies folder properties (name, location, hierarchy) but does not delete data or trigger external operations. Changes are reversible—folders can be renamed back, moved to original locations, or reordered again. This fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update a folder (rename/move/reorder)' and supports 'nesting changes via parentId'. These are reversible modifications to folder metadata and structure within a document/knowledge management system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs updateFolder safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For updateFolder, this is the rule to start with:

updateFolder Rate-limited

updateFolder 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.
