WHAT IT DOES

What update_all_projects does on Metis Public Health

AI agents use update_all_projects 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 update_all_projects is rated Medium

This tool reads project metadata and writes updates to CLAUDE.md files across multiple projects. While it modifies files, the changes appear to be refreshes/regenerations of documentation rather than irreversible deletions, making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Refreshes CLAUDE.md for each' project, indicating modification of files. The verb 'scan' and 'refresh' imply reading and then writing back updated state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_all_projects 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 update_all_projects, this is the rule to start with:

update_all_projects Rate-limited

update_all_projects 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.
