What ghosty_spawn does on EasyBits
AI agents invoke ghosty_spawn to trigger actions in EasyBits. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why ghosty_spawn is rated High
Spawning an agent creates a persistent Linux microVM with root and internet access.

The rule that runs ghosty_spawn safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and EasyBits, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ghosty_spawn, this is the rule to start with:
ghosty_spawn stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect EasyBits, apply this rule, and every ghosty_spawn call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ghosty_spawn
Spawn THE default Ghosty agent — zero configuration. Uses EasyBits. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the EasyBits MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the EasyBits MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ghosty_spawn: 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 EasyBits. Nothing to install.
ghosty_spawn is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ghosty_spawn 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 ghosty_spawn. 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.
ghosty_spawn is provided by the EasyBits MCP server (@easybits.cloud/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
