WHAT IT DOES

What lambda_add_layers does on Plugin Hub

AI agents use lambda_add_layers 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.

RISK

Why lambda_add_layers is rated Medium

An AI agent can call lambda_add_layers 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs lambda_add_layers 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 lambda_add_layers, this is the rule to start with:

lambda_add_layers Rate-limited

lambda_add_layers 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.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "lambda_add_layers": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "lambda_add_layers_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Plugin Hub, apply this rule, and every lambda_add_layers call is checked against it from then on.

What risk level is lambda_add_layers? +

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

Can I rate-limit lambda_add_layers? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for lambda_add_layers. 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.
