What rebuild_sitemap does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents invoke rebuild_sitemap to trigger actions in Webcake Storefront. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why rebuild_sitemap is rated High
This tool triggers an asynchronous background job that regenerates the entire sitemap. It executes an external operation with side effects (rebuilding/overwriting the sitemap), making it Execute category. While it overwrites the sitemap, sitemaps are typically regeneratable artifacts rather than irreplaceable data, so it doesn't rise to Destructive.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rebuild_sitemap safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Webcake Storefront, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rebuild_sitemap, this is the rule to start with:
rebuild_sitemap stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every rebuild_sitemap call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rebuild_sitemap
Rebuild the whole sitemap (async background job). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Webcake Storefront MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Webcake Storefront MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rebuild_sitemap: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Webcake Storefront. Nothing to install.
rebuild_sitemap is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rebuild_sitemap rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rebuild_sitemap. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
