What register_agent does on 8004swap
AI agents use register_agent to create or update resources in 8004swap, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 8004swap environment.
Why register_agent is rated Medium
An AI agent can call register_agent faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in 8004swap by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs register_agent safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 8004swap, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For register_agent, this is the rule to start with:
register_agent 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 8004swap, apply this rule, and every register_agent call is checked against it from then on.

Self-register the configured agent (AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY) on the 8004Swap Registry so it. It is categorised as a Write tool in the 8004swap MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the 8004swap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for register_agent: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches 8004swap. Nothing to install.
register_agent is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the register_agent rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for register_agent. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
register_agent is provided by the 8004swap MCP server (Stakemate369/8004swap). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
