Why update_blog needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data (blog name, URL slug, comment settings) without permanent deletion. It is reversible—changes can be undone by updating again. While it affects public-facing content, the blast radius is limited to blog metadata and settings rather than customer data or financial operations.

From the tool's definition 'Update a blog' with capabilities to 'rename, change handle/slug, or adjust comment policy' modifies blog content and configuration reversibly.

POLICY

How to control update_blog

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

policy.json

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

update_blog 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.

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