build_workflow

Build a ComfyUI workflow from a template and parameters. Returns workflow JSON ready to execute or save. For txt2img_flux, call get_system_resources first and use only when flux_ready is true (FLUX needs ~12GB+ VRAM).

Part of the ComfyUI Builder server.

build_workflow can trigger actions in ComfyUI Builder, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke build_workflow to trigger processes or run actions in ComfyUI Builder. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

build_workflow can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access build_workflow 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 build_workflow only ever does what you allow.

What does the build_workflow tool do? +

Build a ComfyUI workflow from a template and parameters. Returns workflow JSON ready to execute or save. For txt2img_flux, call get_system_resources first and use only when flux_ready is true (FLUX needs ~12GB+ VRAM).. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ComfyUI Builder MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on build_workflow? +

Register the ComfyUI Builder MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_workflow: 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.

What risk level is build_workflow? +

build_workflow is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit build_workflow? +

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

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

build_workflow 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.

Enforce policy on every ComfyUI Builder tool call.
