Apply parameter values to a workflow template. Returns workflow JSON ready to execute or save. Use create_template to build a template, then apply_template with values.

AI agents use apply_template to create or modify resources in ComfyUI Builder. 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 apply_template 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 ComfyUI Builder.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

Apply parameter values to a workflow template. Returns workflow JSON ready to execute or save. Use create_template to build a template, then apply_template with values.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ComfyUI Builder MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the ComfyUI Builder MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for apply_template: 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 ComfyUI Builder. Nothing to install.
apply_template is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the apply_template 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 apply_template. 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.
apply_template is provided by the ComfyUI Builder MCP server (mcp-comfy-ui-builder). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
