WHAT IT DOES

What scopes_updateProject does on Genesis

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`body`	object	Yes	At least one field.
`project`	string	Yes	Project id (prj_...)
`if_match`	string \| integer	Yes	The version you read (the `version` field of the object you are changing, or its ETag); a stale version is a 409

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why scopes_updateProject is rated Medium

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs scopes_updateProject safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genesis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For scopes_updateProject, this is the rule to start with:

scopes_updateProject Rate-limited

scopes_updateProject 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.
