AI agents use push_files to create or modify resources in Model Context Protocol Server for Smithery. 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 push_files 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 Model Context Protocol Server for Smithery.

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

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

What does the push_files tool do? +

How do I enforce a policy on push_files? +

Register the Model Context Protocol Server for Smithery MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for push_files: 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 Model Context Protocol Server for Smithery. Nothing to install.

What risk level is push_files? +

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

Can I rate-limit push_files? +

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

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

push_files is provided by the Model Context Protocol Server for Smithery MCP server (AlexKissiJr/unreal-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
