Why updateOrgSettings is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies organization settings reversibly via a deep merge operation. While it has strong access controls (admin-only), it affects organization-wide configuration and could alter behavior, features, or integrations at scale. It is not Destructive because changes are reversible and not deletion-based. Not Execute because it doesn't run arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update an organisation's settings JSONB via deep merge' — this modifies organization-wide configuration data.

The rule that runs updateOrgSettings 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 updateOrgSettings, this is the rule to start with:
updateOrgSettings 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every updateOrgSettings call is checked against it from then on.
