Why set_channel_talk_power needs a policy

This tool modifies channel configuration by adjusting talk power requirements, which is a reversible Write operation. It affects channel behavior and permissions but does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or trigger irreversible operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set talk power requirement for a channel', which modifies channel configuration settings. The name 'set_channel_talk_power' and description indicate this changes channel permissions/properties in a reversible manner.

POLICY

How to control set_channel_talk_power

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_channel_talk_power": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_channel_talk_power_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

set_channel_talk_power 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.
