RISK

Why theprotocol_cloneAgent is rated Medium

Cloning an agent creates a new resource (a copy of an existing agent), which is a reversible write/create operation. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because duplicating agents in an AI platform could lead to unintended proliferation of agents, but the action is reversible.

From the tool's definition 'Clone an agent. Optional new_name.' — creates a new agent by copying an existing one

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs theprotocol_cloneAgent safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For theprotocol_cloneAgent, this is the rule to start with:

theprotocol_cloneAgent Rate-limited

theprotocol_cloneAgent 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.
