stage_move

Move or rename a file or folder in Stage

How to control stage_move ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool modifies the structure and location of files/folders but does not delete them (reversible), nor does it execute code, transfer funds, or perform irreversible destruction. It fits the Write category as it creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stage_move' and description 'Move or rename a file or folder in Stage' indicates reversible modification of file/folder organization within a staging area.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access stage_move gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stage_move": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "stage_move_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

stage_move 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.

  1. Create a free account and register SingleStore MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on stage_move? +

Register the SingleStore MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stage_move: 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 SingleStore MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is stage_move? +

stage_move is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit stage_move? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stage_move 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.

How do I block stage_move completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stage_move. 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.

What MCP server provides stage_move? +

stage_move is provided by the SingleStore MCP Server MCP server (singlestore-labs/mcp-server-singlestore). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SingleStore MCP Server tool call.
