## Facts

- Tool: `update_configuration`
- Server: CloudStack MCP Server (`mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server
- 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_configuration",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why update_configuration is rated Medium

This tool modifies CloudStack global configuration settings, which can have wide-ranging effects across the infrastructure (affecting VMs, networking, storage). However, it is reversible (configurations can be updated again to previous values), making it Write rather than Destructive or Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_configuration' and description 'Update a CloudStack global configuration' indicate modification of infrastructure settings."

## Use case

AI agents use update_configuration to create or update resources in CloudStack MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CloudStack MCP Server environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CloudStack MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_configuration": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_configuration_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
