MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Skill Cortex Lite tools

Destructive · High delete_existing_skill The delete_* pattern combined with 'existing_skill' indicates this tool permanently removes a skill resource. Write · Medium create_new_skill Creating new skills in a code skills system is a reversible write operation. Write · Medium update_tags Update operations that modify metadata (tags) are reversible Write operations.

3 of Skill Cortex Lite's 6 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Skill Cortex Lite

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Skill Cortex Lite, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_existing_skill": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "create_new_skill": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "create_new_skill_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_skill_details": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_skill_details_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

6 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 3 are read-only. 3 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Skill Cortex Lite? +

Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Skill Cortex Lite tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 6 Skill Cortex Lite tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
