HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mcp-dev/update-document-type ## Facts - Tool: `update-document-type` - Server: Mcp Dev (`@umbraco-cms/mcp-dev`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mcp-dev.md - Install: `npx -y @umbraco-cms/mcp-dev` - Homepage: git+https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS-MCP-Dev.git - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update-document-type", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update-document-type is rated Medium This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating document type definitions. While the change is persistent, it is not destructive (document types can be further modified or reverted through other means). The severity is high because modifying document types in a CMS affects content structure and rendering across the entire system, with broad impact on content management operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update-document-type' and description 'Updates a document type by Id' indicate modification of document type definitions in Umbraco CMS." ## Use case AI agents use update-document-type 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
