Medium Risk

Why update_profile needs a policy

This tool modifies user profile information (username) reversibly. It is a Write operation that changes data state but does not irreversibly delete data or execute arbitrary code. Severity is medium because unauthorized username changes could lead to account confusion, impersonation risks, or access control issues, but impact is scoped to profile metadata rather than system-wide operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_profile' combined with description '修改当前客户端用户名' (modify current client username) indicates creation or modification of user profile data.

How to control update_profile

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

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

update_profile 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.
