Why promote_collection_environment needs a policy

The tool name suggests promoting or advancing an environment configuration within a collection, which constitutes a reversible modification of infrastructure state. Without a detailed description, it is classified as Write rather than higher-severity categories. The confidence is moderate due to the absence of a description and reliance on naming convention alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'promote_collection_environment' indicates modification of collection environment state (promotion implies advancing from one stage to another). Description is empty, limiting certainty.

How to control promote_collection_environment

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

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

promote_collection_environment 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.

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