What update_deployment does on Komodo MCP Server

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

Why update_deployment needs a policy

This tool modifies deployment configurations in an infrastructure management system. While reversible (configurations can be updated again), a misconfigured deployment affects production systems and could cause service disruption, data loss, or security issues. The high severity reflects the operational impact of incorrectly updating live deployment settings.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_deployment' and description 'Actualiza la configuración de un deployment existente' (Updates the configuration of an existing deployment) indicate modification of existing infrastructure configuration.

How to control update_deployment

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

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

update_deployment 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 Komodo MCP Server — 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.
