Propose an entirely new base glyph for the protocol. Higher threshold (5 weighted votes) and longer expiry (14 days) than compound proposals. Accepted proposals create a new glyph usable in encode/send. Optionally include a 16x16 glyph design.

AI agents use ayni_propose_base_glyph to create or modify resources in Ayni. 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 ayni_propose_base_glyph 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 Ayni.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ayni_propose_base_glyph gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Propose an entirely new base glyph for the protocol. Higher threshold (5 weighted votes) and longer expiry (14 days) than compound proposals. Accepted proposals create a new glyph usable in encode/send. Optionally include a 16x16 glyph design.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ayni MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ayni MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ayni_propose_base_glyph: 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 Ayni. Nothing to install.
ayni_propose_base_glyph is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ayni_propose_base_glyph 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ayni_propose_base_glyph. 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.
ayni_propose_base_glyph is provided by the Ayni MCP server (ayni-protocol/ayni). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
