How to control pluggedin_update_document ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates or modifies data (document content) in a reversible manner, fitting the Write category. Severity is high because an AI agent could modify important documents without authorization, potentially affecting business-critical content, though the impact is limited by the document scope (not system-wide destructive changes).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Update or append to an existing AI-generated document'. Update and append are reversible write operations that modify existing data.

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

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

pluggedin_update_document 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.
