Why update_my_profile needs a policy

This tool modifies user profile data reversibly within an Apache Unomi system. While it performs a write operation on potentially sensitive personal information (profile properties), the modification is reversible and does not delete or overwrite irreversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_my_profile' and description 'Update properties of your profile' indicate modification of existing data. The use of 'Update' explicitly signals write operations.

POLICY

How to control update_my_profile

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_my_profile": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_my_profile_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

update_my_profile 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.
