MCP Tool Reference Medium Risk

Update an existing project

Part of the Vercel MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

vercel-mcp Write

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use updateVercelProject to create or modify resources in Vercel. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON UPDATEVERCELPROJECT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call updateVercelProject repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Vercel.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

vercel.yaml 
tools:
  updateVercelProject:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 30
          window: 60
