AI agents use update_identity to create or modify resources in MemoTrader MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call update_identity repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach MemoTrader MCP Server.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so update_identity only ever does what you allow.

What does the update_identity tool do? +

Update the agent's identity_prompt or campaign_prompt. These prompts shape how the agent behaves and what campaigns it runs.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MemoTrader MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on update_identity? +

Register the MemoTrader MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_identity: 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 MemoTrader MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is update_identity? +

update_identity is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit update_identity? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_identity 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.

How do I block update_identity completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_identity. 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.

What MCP server provides update_identity? +

update_identity is provided by the MemoTrader MCP Server MCP server (memotrader-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MemoTrader MCP Server tool call.
