WHAT IT DOES

What add_runbook does on Mcp Control Plane

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

RISK

Why add_runbook is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies runbook notes, which are data artifacts. It falls under Write rather than Read (it modifies, not just retrieves), Execute (it doesn't run code or trigger external operations), or Destructive (the changes are reversible via updates).

From the tool's definition The tool description states it will 'Add or update a runbook note' - these are reversible write operations that create or modify data (notes/runbooks) without deletion or irreversible consequences.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_runbook safely

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

add_runbook Rate-limited

add_runbook 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.
