# update_device_notes Set free-text notes on a device by serial number (max 256 chars). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `update_device_notes`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/update-device-notes ## Facts - Tool: `update_device_notes` - Server: API-Central (`secure-ssid/centralmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/secure-ssid/centralmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update_device_notes", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update_device_notes is rated Medium This tool creates or modifies data (device notes) in a reversible manner. It does not read sensitive information without modification, execute commands, delete data, or move financial resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could add misleading notes but cannot disrupt network operations, access credentials, or cause data loss. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Set free-text notes on a device' — 'set' indicates a modification operation. The action is explicitly reversible (notes can be updated or cleared), limited in scope (single device, max 256 chars), and affects only metadata without…" ## Use case AI agents use update_device_notes to create or update resources in API-Central, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your API-Central environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
