MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Claude Writer's Aid MCP tools

Write · Low add_style_decision This tool creates or modifies style decision records in the manuscript project—a reversible write operation. Write · Medium generate_outline Generating an outline creates new intellectual property and modifies the manuscript project state by adding a structured outline artifact. Write · Low mark_mistake This is categorized as Write rather than Read because it creates or modifies state (recording/storing mistake records), but it is low severity since the operation is fully reversible, affects only metadata/annotations ra Write · Low set_requirement The tool creates or modifies stored requirement entries for manuscript projects.

5 of Claude Writer's Aid MCP's 34 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Claude Writer's Aid MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Writer's Aid MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_style_decision": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_style_decision_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "analyze_link_graph": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "analyze_link_graph_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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