WHAT IT DOES

What update_outline does on Xiaohongshu (RedBook) MCP Server

THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why update_outline needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating an outline document within a project. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The severity is medium because misuse could modify content intended for social media publication, potentially causing reputational or compliance issues, but the effects are reversible via further updates or rollback.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Update an existing project outline' — modifies existing data (the outline) in a reversible manner without deletion or financial implications.

POLICY

How to control update_outline

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

policy.json

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

update_outline 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.
