Medium Risk

update_commitment

Status-update an active commitment. Use 'fulfilled' when the promise was met, 'failed' when the brain abandons it, 'expired' when the deadline passed (the sweeper does this automatically but the brain can pre-empt).

Part of the Space0 server.

update_commitment can modify Space0 data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use update_commitment to create or modify resources in Space0. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call update_commitment repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Space0.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_commitment gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so update_commitment only ever does what you allow.

What does the update_commitment tool do? +

Status-update an active commitment. Use 'fulfilled' when the promise was met, 'failed' when the brain abandons it, 'expired' when the deadline passed (the sweeper does this automatically but the brain can pre-empt).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Space0 MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on update_commitment? +

Register the Space0 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_commitment: 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 Space0. Nothing to install.

What risk level is update_commitment? +

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

Can I rate-limit update_commitment? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_commitment 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 update_commitment completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_commitment. 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 update_commitment? +

update_commitment is provided by the Space0 MCP server (https://mcp.0.space/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Space0 tool call.
