WHAT IT DOES

What update_report does on Sanka MCP Server

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

RISK

Why update_report is rated Medium

The tool modifies report/dashboard configurations and panel layouts, which are data structures that can be updated and reverted. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive since updates are typically reversible and don't permanently delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_report' combined with description stating it can 'update a Sanka report/dashboard and optionally replace panels' indicates reversible modification of data/configurations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_report safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sanka MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For update_report, this is the rule to start with:

update_report Rate-limited

update_report 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.
