WHAT IT DOES

What secret_set does on EasyBits

AI agents use secret_set to create or update resources in EasyBits, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your EasyBits environment.

RISK

Why secret_set is rated Medium

Writes sensitive credential data irreversibly to account storage; misuse leaks secrets to attacker-controlled sandboxes.

From the tool's definition Create or update an EasyBits Secret; stored encrypted; value injected as env var

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

secret_set Rate-limited

secret_set 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.

FAQ

Questions about secret_set

What does the secret_set tool do? +

Create or update an EasyBits Secret for the calling account. Stored AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest. Once saved the value can never be read back via API or MCP — only injected as an env var into a sandbox via. It is categorised as a Write tool in the EasyBits MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on secret_set? +

Register the EasyBits MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for secret_set: 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.

What risk level is secret_set? +

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

Can I rate-limit secret_set? +

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

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

secret_set 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.
