set_light

What set_light does on Tolpo

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

Why set_light is rated Medium

The tool modifies lighting device state (on/off, brightness, color, etc.), which is reversible and non-destructive. This constitutes Write rather than Execute because it targets a specific resource state change rather than running arbitrary code. Severity is medium: misuse could disrupt occupant comfort or smart home routines, but has no financial, destructive, or safety-critical consequences in typical scenarios.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_light' combined with sibling tools 'set_group' and context of 'control of Philips Hue lighting devices' indicates modification of light state. Description is empty, requiring inference from name and server context.

The rule that runs set_light safely

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

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_light": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_light_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
