WHAT IT DOES

What set_pid does on Pypi:labmcp Alicat

AI agents use set_pid to create or update resources in Pypi:labmcp Alicat, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Pypi:labmcp Alicat environment.

RISK

Why set_pid is rated Medium

This tool modifies flight controller PID parameters, which are critical configuration settings that affect aircraft flight dynamics. While reversible (can be reconfigured), incorrect PID values could cause loss of aircraft stability, crashes, or safety hazards.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_pid' on iNAV flight controller MCP server; PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) parameters are core flight control tuning values that directly affect aircraft stability and behavior.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_pid safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pypi:labmcp Alicat, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_pid, this is the rule to start with:

set_pid Rate-limited

set_pid 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.
