RISK

Why updateImprovementCategory is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (updating metadata/categories within a structured system), without deleting data, executing code, or triggering financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update an improvement category', indicating modification of existing data. Restriction that it 'Cannot modify system categories' confirms reversibility—changes are scoped and can be undone.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

updateImprovementCategory Rate-limited

updateImprovementCategory 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.
