Set filesystem or database usage limits for a site.
AI agents use pressable_set_site_usage_limits to create or update resources in Pressable MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Pressable MCP Server environment.
This tool creates or modifies site settings reversibly—usage limits can be adjusted again. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), move money (Financial), or merely read data (Read). The medium severity reflects that misconfigured limits could affect site availability or performance, but the change is not irreversible and does not directly cause data loss or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'set' operation on 'usage limits', which modifies site configuration parameters. Description states it sets (changes) 'filesystem or database usage limits for a site', which is a configuration update.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Set filesystem or database usage limits for a site. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pressable MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pressable MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pressable_set_site_usage_limits: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Pressable MCP Server. Nothing to install.
pressable_set_site_usage_limits 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 pressable_set_site_usage_limits rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for pressable_set_site_usage_limits. 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.
pressable_set_site_usage_limits is provided by the Pressable MCP Server MCP server (pcwprops/pressable-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
