Single-target operation
Part of the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use updateConnection to create or modify resources in SourceSync Ai MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call updateConnection repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach SourceSync Ai MCP Server.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Agents calling write-class tools like updateConnection have been implicated in these attack patterns. Read the full case and prevention policy for each:
Other tools in the Write risk category across the catalogue. The same policy patterns (rate-limit, validate) apply to each.
Updates a connection to a specific source. The connector parameter should be a valid SourceSync connector enum value. The clientRedirectUrl parameter is optional and can be used to specify a custom redirect URL for the connection. This will give you a authorization url which you can redirect the user to. The user will then be asked to pick the documents they want to ingest. This is useful if you want to update the connection to a different source or if you want to update the clientRedirectUrl or if you want to pick a different or new set of documents.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for updateConnection. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP server.
updateConnection is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the updateConnection rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for updateConnection. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
updateConnection is provided by the SourceSync Ai MCP Server MCP server (pbteja1998/sourcesyncai-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
