AI agents use publish_partial to create or update resources in Portkey Admin — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Portkey Admin environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
version | number | Yes | Version number to publish as default |
prompt_partial_id | string | Yes | Prompt partial ID or slug |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
An AI agent can call publish_partial faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Portkey Admin by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Publish a specific partial version as the default, unlike update_prompt_partial which creates a new draft without activating it. Use after list_partial_versions to pick a version_id; this immediately changes what {{> partial_name}} resolves to for all prompts and replaces the previously active version without a rollback path. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Portkey Admin MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
publish_partial accepts 2 parameters: version, prompt_partial_id. Required: version, prompt_partial_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Portkey Admin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for publish_partial: 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 Portkey Admin. Nothing to install.
publish_partial 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 publish_partial 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 publish_partial. 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.
publish_partial is provided by the Portkey Admin MCP server (CodesWhat/portkey-admin-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
