What generate_cargo_toml does on Plugin Hub
AI agents use generate_cargo_toml to create or update resources in Plugin Hub, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Plugin Hub environment.
Why generate_cargo_toml is rated Medium
An AI agent can call generate_cargo_toml faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Plugin Hub by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs generate_cargo_toml safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Plugin Hub, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For generate_cargo_toml, this is the rule to start with:
generate_cargo_toml 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Plugin Hub, apply this rule, and every generate_cargo_toml call is checked against it from then on.
