# rig_node_add

Add ONE block (graph node) to a canvas rig — the granular edit for 'add a step that …'. Appends and auto-wires an edge from the current last block (default), from after (a node id/label/position), or unwired with after='none' (a new parallel branch head). Node fields match rig_author's nodes. Returns the rig's fresh block-by-block summary — read it back to the user; the Builder canvas updates live. For whole-rig authoring use rig_author; this is the scalpel.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `node` | object | yes | The block, same fields as a rig_author node: {skill?, sub_rig?, label?, instruction?, doc_input?, endpoint?, tool?, params?, url?, method?, data_op?, data_key?, |
| `after` | string | no | Wire the new block after THIS node (id, label, skill name, or 1-based position). Default: the current terminal block. 'none' = leave unwired. |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "rig_node_add",
    "arguments": {
      "node": {},
      "rig_id": "<rig_id>",
      "wallet_address": "<wallet_address>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why rig_node_add is rated Medium

Modifies workflow configuration reversibly by appending nodes; changes are editable and undoable within the system.

From the tool's own definition: "Add ONE block (graph node) to a canvas rig — the granular edit for 'add a step that …'."

Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (node.endpoint) · High parameter count (30 properties)

## Use case

AI agents use rig_node_add to create or update resources in Rokha, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Rokha environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Rokha:
