Publish an entry or multiple entries. Accepts either a single entryId (string) or an array of entryIds (up to 100 entries). For a single entry, it uses the standard publish operation. For multiple entries, it automatically uses bulk publishing.
AI agents use publish_entry to create or update resources in Contentful MCP Remote Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Contentful MCP Remote Server environment.
Publishing entries is a reversible modification operation (entries can be unpublished). It changes content visibility and state but does not delete or permanently destroy data, nor does it involve financial transactions or arbitrary code execution. It falls clearly into Write category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Publish an entry or multiple entries' using 'standard publish operation' or 'bulk publishing'. Publishing is a state-change operation that makes content live/visible.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Publish an entry or multiple entries. Accepts either a single entryId (string) or an array of entryIds (up to 100 entries). For a single entry, it uses the standard publish operation. For multiple entries, it automatically uses bulk publishing. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Contentful MCP Remote Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Contentful MCP Remote Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for publish_entry: 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 Contentful MCP Remote Server. Nothing to install.
publish_entry 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_entry 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_entry. 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_entry is provided by the Contentful MCP Remote Server MCP server (renzoqcad/contentful-express-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
