WHAT IT DOES

What archive_project does on Metis Public Health

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

RISK

Why archive_project is rated Medium

Archiving is a write operation that modifies metadata (project status) without destroying or permanently altering underlying data. The description explicitly states that 'all data' is kept, confirming reversibility. This is a state-change operation (Write) rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Archive a project — marks it inactive but keeps all data.' The action marks/changes the status of a project to inactive, which is a reversible state change.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs archive_project safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Metis Public Health, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For archive_project, this is the rule to start with:

archive_project Rate-limited

archive_project 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.
