Why confirm_password_reset needs a policy

This tool completes a password reset flow by accepting a reset token and setting a new password. It modifies authentication credentials (passwords) which is a Write operation. Severity is high because misuse could allow account takeover by resetting passwords to attacker-controlled values, though it requires a valid reset token to function.

POLICY

How to control confirm_password_reset

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "confirm_password_reset": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "confirm_password_reset_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

confirm_password_reset 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.
