Submit a URL for NHS to crawl and score. Use when you discover an agent-first tool, API, or service that isn't in the index yet. NHS will fetch the site, check its 7 agentic signals (llms.txt, ai-plugin.json, OpenAPI, structured API, MCP server, robots.txt AI rules, Schema.org), compute a score, ...

AI agents use submit_site to create or modify resources in Not Human Search. 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 submit_site 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 Not Human Search.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access submit_site 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 submit_site only ever does what you allow.

What does the submit_site tool do? +

Submit a URL for NHS to crawl and score. Use when you discover an agent-first tool, API, or service that isn't in the index yet. NHS will fetch the site, check its 7 agentic signals (llms.txt, ai-plugin.json, OpenAPI, structured API, MCP server, robots.txt AI rules, Schema.org), compute a score, and add it to the index. The site becomes searchable within a few seconds if the crawl succeeds.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Not Human Search MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on submit_site? +

Register the Not Human Search MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for submit_site: 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 Not Human Search. Nothing to install.

What risk level is submit_site? +

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

Can I rate-limit submit_site? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the submit_site 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 submit_site completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for submit_site. 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 submit_site? +

submit_site is provided by the Not Human Search MCP server (https://nothumansearch.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Not Human Search tool call.
