Update dependency planning view metadata. Returns summary by default; set verbose=true for full data.
AI agents use update_dependency_view to create or update resources in Roadmap Skill — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Roadmap Skill environment.
This tool modifies metadata of dependency planning views within the local kanban/task management system. Updates are reversible (can be changed again), affecting only the planning view structure rather than executing code or deleting data. The blast radius is medium—incorrect metadata updates could confuse task planning but wouldn't destroy data or execute external operations. It falls squarely in the Write category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update dependency planning view metadata', which modifies existing data (the dependency view configuration). The verb 'Update' indicates reversible modification rather than deletion or execution of external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_dependency_view gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Roadmap Skill, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for update_dependency_view:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"update_dependency_view": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "update_dependency_view_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}update_dependency_view 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.

Update dependency planning view metadata. Returns summary by default; set verbose=true for full data. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Roadmap Skill MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Roadmap Skill MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_dependency_view: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Roadmap Skill. Nothing to install.
update_dependency_view is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_dependency_view rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_dependency_view. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
update_dependency_view is provided by the Roadmap Skill MCP server (shiquda/roadmap-skill). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
