Medium Risk

ayni_reject

Reject/downvote a glyph proposal. Your vote weight depends on your identity tier. After weighted rejections reach threshold (3), the proposal is rejected. Cannot reject if you already endorsed.

Part of the Ayni MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

ayni-protocol/ayni Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use ayni_reject 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_reject repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept'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.

What does the ayni_reject tool do? +

Reject/downvote a glyph proposal. Your vote weight depends on your identity tier. After weighted rejections reach threshold (3), the proposal is rejected. Cannot reject if you already endorsed.. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on ayni_reject? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for ayni_reject. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Ayni MCP server.

What risk level is ayni_reject? +

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

Can I rate-limit ayni_reject? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ayni_reject rule in your Intercept 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 ayni_reject completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for ayni_reject. 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 ayni_reject? +

ayni_reject is provided by the Ayni MCP server (ayni-protocol/ayni). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
