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

Medium Risk

This tool modifies (rather than deletes) marketplace resource secrets, making it a Write category action. However, because secrets are highly sensitive and misuse could lead to unauthorized access to marketplace integrations, financial resources, or data breaches, the severity is high.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'update_marketplace_secrets' with description 'Update marketplace resource secrets'. The verb 'update' indicates modification of existing data. 'Secrets' are sensitive credentials used for authentication and authorization.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_marketplace_secrets gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_marketplace_secrets": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_marketplace_secrets_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

update_marketplace_secrets 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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
