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

Why manage_sitemap needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies sitemap.xml files, which is a reversible write operation. While sitemaps are important for SEO and deployment tracking, modifying them does not delete data irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, or affect financial systems. The primary action is generating and managing a structured data file.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Generate, validate, and manage sitemap.xml' — 'generate' and 'manage' indicate creation and modification of files. Sitemaps are XML files that are written/updated as part of the documentation deployment process.

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

How to control manage_sitemap

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

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

manage_sitemap 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 Documcp — 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.
