AI agents use artifact_store to create or modify resources in BrainBrainBrains. 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 artifact_store 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 BrainBrainBrains.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so artifact_store only ever does what you allow.

What does the artifact_store tool do? +

Store or update a structured artifact (ADR, PRD, API contract, etc.). It is categorised as a Write tool in the BrainBrainBrains MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on artifact_store? +

Register the BrainBrainBrains MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for artifact_store: 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 BrainBrainBrains. Nothing to install.

What risk level is artifact_store? +

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

Can I rate-limit artifact_store? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for artifact_store. 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 artifact_store? +

artifact_store is provided by the BrainBrainBrains MCP server (bbb-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every BrainBrainBrains tool call.
