Why versions_publish_draft needs a policy

The tool name suggests it publishes a draft version, which is an irreversible or significant state-change operation (making a draft live). In a tag management/analytics context, publishing a draft can affect live tracking configurations across all users. This is most likely an Execute-level action (triggering an external operation/state change).

POLICY

How to control versions_publish_draft

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "versions_publish_draft": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "versions_publish_draft_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

versions_publish_draft stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Piwik PRO MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
