What edit_post does on Velog

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

Why edit_post needs a policy

Editing a post is a reversible modification of data. It does not delete or destroy content (which would be Destructive), nor does it execute arbitrary code or trigger unpredictable side effects (which would be Execute).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'edit_post' and description states 'Edit an existing post on Velog', which modifies existing data. The server description confirms it 'supports post management...write Velog blog posts'.

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

How to control edit_post

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

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

edit_post 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 Velog — 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.
