WHAT IT DOES

What link_repos does on CogniRepo

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

RISK

Why link_repos is rated Medium

With no description available, classification is based solely on the tool name. 'link_repos' strongly implies creating or establishing a connection/association between repositories, which is a Write operation (creating a new relationship). Confidence is low due to the empty description — it could also be Execute if it triggers processes, but Write is the most likely interpretation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'link_repos' and empty description. The name suggests creating a relationship or association between repositories.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs link_repos safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CogniRepo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For link_repos, this is the rule to start with:

link_repos Rate-limited

link_repos 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.
