AI agents use stellar-governor to create or modify resources in Contracts. 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 stellar-governor 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 Contracts.

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

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

What does the stellar-governor tool do? +

Make a governor contract for on-chain governance using token-based voting. Returns the source code of the generated contract, formatted in a Markdown code block. Does not write to disk.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Contracts MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on stellar-governor? +

Register the Contracts MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stellar-governor: 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 Contracts. Nothing to install.

What risk level is stellar-governor? +

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

Can I rate-limit stellar-governor? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stellar-governor 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 stellar-governor completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stellar-governor. 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 stellar-governor? +

stellar-governor is provided by the Contracts MCP server (@openzeppelin/contracts-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Contracts tool call.
