Why update_pantry needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies pantry records reversibly (items can be added or removed). This is a typical Write operation—it changes data but does not delete irreversibly, execute code, move money, or perform destructive operations. The scope is limited to personal pantry tracking for a grocery shopping app, making it low severity even though it's a Write action.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add or remove pantry items' which are create/modify operations on user pantry data. Returns 'updated pantry item list' confirming state changes.

How to control update_pantry

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

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

update_pantry 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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
