WHAT IT DOES

What unpublish-document does on Mcp Dev

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

RISK

Why unpublish-document is rated Medium

Unpublishing a document removes it from public view but does not delete the underlying content — it is a reversible state change (the document can be republished). This makes it a Write operation rather than Destructive. However, the blast radius is high because unpublishing can immediately take content offline, affecting live websites and end users.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unpublish-document safely

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

unpublish-document Rate-limited

unpublish-document 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.
