HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/apps-manifest-update ## Facts - Tool: `apps_manifest_update` - Server: Slack (`karbassi/slack-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/karbassi/slack-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "apps_manifest_update", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why apps_manifest_update is rated Medium Updating an app manifest is a reversible write operation that modifies application configuration. It does not delete data (so not Destructive) and does not move money (so not Financial). However, it is Write rather than Execute because the tool itself performs the update action rather than executing arbitrary code. From the tool's own definition: "The tool is named 'apps_manifest_update' and described as 'Update an app from an app manifest.' This updates application configuration/manifest, which modifies app behavior and settings." ## Use case AI agents use apps_manifest_update to create or update resources in Slack, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Slack environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
