move_prompt · Prompteka MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What move_prompt does on Prompteka MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why move_prompt needs a policy

Moving a prompt is a reversible operation that updates metadata (folder location) rather than creating, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. It falls under Write since it modifies data organization. Severity is medium because misuse could disorganize a user's prompt library or move sensitive prompts to unexpected locations, but the action is fully reversible via another move operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Move a prompt to a different folder' - this modifies the folder association of an existing prompt in the Prompteka SQLite database, changing its metadata without deleting or creating new data.

Verdict

move_prompt Rate-limited

move_prompt 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.
