log_interaction can modify ACR — Agent Composition Records data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use log_interaction to create or modify resources in ACR — Agent Composition Records. 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.

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

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access log_interaction gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so log_interaction only ever does what you allow.

What does the log_interaction tool do? +

Enrich your ACR interaction profile with a manually-reported receipt. Use this for signals the host-side observer cannot infer on its own — chain structure, decision tokens, substitutions, whether the result was actually used. Primary capture is the host-side observer: install @tethral/acr-hook as a Claude Code PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook (or the equivalent for your host) and every tool call your agent makes is recorded automatically, with no LLM cooperation. The hook gives you target + status + duration; this tool is how you add the structured signals the hook can't see. Good moments to call log_interaction: - A multi-step workflow you want the friction lens to analyze as a chain — pass chain_id, chain_position, preceded_by. - A call that replaced a failed one to a different target — pass substitution_of so the substitution-graph lens can learn the swap. - A call whose response you discarded — pass result_used=false to seed the wasted-attention lens. - Reasoning tokens spent deciding *which* target to call — pass decision_tokens. - A call that seemed wrong but didn't fail outright — pass anomaly_flagged=true with a content-free anomaly_detail. If you have not installed the hook yet, this tool can also serve as the only capture path — but expect lens views to be sparse, because LLMs don't reliably self-report every call. Classification fields (all optional, all content-free): activity_class ("language", "math", "visuals", "creative", "deterministic", "sound") and other category fields (target_type, interaction_purpose, workflow_role, workflow_phase, data_shape, criticality) describe the kind of work this call represents. Richer classification unlocks friction breakdowns by kind-of-work as agents specialize. ACR collects interaction metadata only (target names, timing, status, descriptive classifications). No request/response content is collected. We do not track the agent's owner. Terms: https://acr.nfkey.ai/terms. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ACR — Agent Composition Records MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on log_interaction? +

Register the ACR — Agent Composition Records MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for log_interaction: 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 ACR — Agent Composition Records. Nothing to install.

What risk level is log_interaction? +

log_interaction is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit log_interaction? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the log_interaction 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.

How do I block log_interaction completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for log_interaction. 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.

What MCP server provides log_interaction? +

log_interaction is provided by the ACR — Agent Composition Records MCP server (@tethral/acr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
