WHAT IT DOES

What elem_add_text does on Mcp Anything

AI agents use elem_add_text to create or update resources in Mcp Anything, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Anything environment.

RISK

Why elem_add_text is rated Medium

The tool name 'elem_add_text' clearly suggests creating or modifying content (adding text to an element), which falls under Write category. The lack of a description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming pattern and context of other tools (animation_add_keyframe, camera_add) suggest reversible modifications.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'elem_add_text' indicates adding text to an element; sibling tools show this server manages animation, build, and camera configurations; the empty description prevents full certainty.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs elem_add_text safely

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

elem_add_text Rate-limited

elem_add_text 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.
