Why web_read_config_save needs a policy

The name suggests saving web read configuration, which is a Write operation. However, the description is empty and uninformative, so confidence is reduced. Based on sibling tools (book_save, book_save_progress) that follow a similar naming pattern for write operations, and the 'save' verb in the name, this is most likely a Write operation that modifies application configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'web_read_config_save' — 'save' implies writing/modifying configuration data.

How to control web_read_config_save

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "web_read_config_save": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "web_read_config_save_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

web_read_config_save 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.
