Why signavio_move_folder needs a policy

This tool modifies data structure and organizational hierarchy by relocating folders, making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. While moving to trash is a step toward deletion, it is typically reversible in modern systems. If the tool permanently deleted without recovery option, it would be Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Move a folder to a new parent or to trash", which modifies the location/structure of data.

POLICY

How to control signavio_move_folder

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "signavio_move_folder": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "signavio_move_folder_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

signavio_move_folder 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.
