Why update_last_access needs a policy

This tool modifies user metadata (last access timestamp) in a reversible manner. It does not delete data, execute code, move money, or trigger external operations. While it writes data, the blast radius is minimal—updating a timestamp is a routine, non-sensitive operation with no cascading effects. Classification as Write with low severity reflects the modification nature and minimal risk if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_last_access' and description 'Update the last access timestamp for the current user' indicate a modification operation that creates or updates a data field (timestamp).

How to control update_last_access

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and N Lobby MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for update_last_access:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_last_access": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_last_access_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

update_last_access 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.
