layout_rename · Voog MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What layout_rename does on Voog

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why layout_rename needs a policy

The tool modifies an existing layout by changing its title via a PUT request. This is a reversible write operation—the old name can be restored if needed. The blast radius is limited to that specific layout's metadata. Severity is medium because renaming layouts could affect references in templates or site structure, but the operation itself is not destructive or irreversible.

From the tool's definition Rename a layout (PUT /layouts/{id} {title}). Reversible

Verdict

layout_rename Rate-limited

layout_rename 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.
