Why update_project_yaml needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies project configuration data reversibly through YAML changes. While it affects application behavior, the changes are reversible (can be overwritten or reverted) and do not permanently destroy data or trigger financial transactions, placing it firmly in Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_project_yaml' and description 'Push YAML changes to a FlutterFlow project' indicate modification of project configuration data. The description explicitly advises validating before updating, confirming this modifies existing project state.

How to control update_project_yaml

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

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

update_project_yaml 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Community Ff — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
