WHAT IT DOES

What editor_run_template does on 010 Editor

AI agents invoke editor_run_template to trigger actions in 010 Editor. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why editor_run_template is rated High

editor_run_template triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs editor_run_template safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 010 Editor, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For editor_run_template, this is the rule to start with:

editor_run_template Rate-limited

editor_run_template stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
