Medium Risk

push_rules

Push JettyScript automation rules to a device. Rules run on-device and can trigger alerts when sensor thresholds are crossed.

Part of the Jettyd server.

push_rules can modify Jettyd data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use push_rules to create or modify resources in Jettyd. 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 push_rules 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 Jettyd.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access push_rules gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the push_rules tool do? +

Push JettyScript automation rules to a device. Rules run on-device and can trigger alerts when sensor thresholds are crossed.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Jettyd MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on push_rules? +

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

What risk level is push_rules? +

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

Can I rate-limit push_rules? +

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

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

push_rules is provided by the Jettyd MCP server (@jettyd/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Jettyd tool call.
