Why system.warm_service_update is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies state data related to service warmth and resource caching—a reversible operation. It does not execute external commands, delete data permanently, or move money. While it affects service behavior, the impact is limited to internal resource management metadata that can be cleared or updated, making it a Write-category tool with low severity.

system.warm_service_update 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Visionmcp, apply this rule, and every system.warm_service_update call is checked against it from then on.
