What record_change does on Mcp Control Plane
AI agents use record_change 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.
Why record_change is rated Medium
This tool writes/persists a change event record to some durable store. It creates new data (an audit/change log entry) but does not delete or irreversibly modify existing data. It is a Write operation with medium severity since misuse could pollute change logs or audit trails, but it does not directly destroy data or trigger destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs record_change 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 record_change, this is the rule to start with:
record_change 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every record_change call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about record_change
Record a durable change event after code, config, or infrastructure changes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Control Plane MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for record_change: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Control Plane. Nothing to install.
record_change is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the record_change rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for record_change. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
record_change is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
