Why update_space_role needs a policy

This tool modifies (writes) space role configurations, which are reversible changes. While role updates could have significant blast radius if an AI agent grants excessive permissions or modifies critical roles, the operation itself is not destructive (roles can be reconfigured), not financial, and not code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_space_role' and description 'Updates a space role's configuration' indicate modification of access control settings. This is a reversible write operation that modifies role-based permissions and configurations.

How to control update_space_role

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

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

update_space_role 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.
