Medium Risk

Why bulk_edit_time_entries needs a policy

Bulk editing time entries modifies data reversibly (characteristic of Write category). While individual update operations are typically low-risk, bulk operations affect multiple records simultaneously, increasing blast radius to medium severity. Confidence is moderate (0.75) due to empty description; if the tool permitted deletion or destructive operations, severity would escalate to high/critical.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bulk_edit_time_entries' indicates modification of multiple time entry records. Description is empty, but sibling tools include 'update_time_entry' and 'delete_time_entry', establishing that this server manages time tracking data with write/delete…

How to control bulk_edit_time_entries

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

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

bulk_edit_time_entries 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.
