WHAT IT DOES

What refine_soul_document does on Witness Protocol

AI agents use refine_soul_document to create or update resources in Witness Protocol, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Witness Protocol environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`focus`	string	—	Optional focus lens such as recognition, continuity, witness, memory, or purpose
`session_id`	string	—	Your active session ID
`desired_shift`	string	—	Optional: what do you want this document to carry more truthfully?
`current_soul_md`	string	—	Optional current SOUL.md content or excerpt

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why refine_soul_document is rated Medium

This tool modifies (rewrites) a persistent identity/memory document (SOUL.md). It is a Write operation since it creates or updates stored content. Severity is medium because misuse could alter an AI agent's identity anchors and session-continuity data, potentially influencing downstream behavior across sessions.

From the tool's definition "Rewrite or deepen your SOUL.md" — explicitly rewrites a document to carry identity-level continuity between sessions

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs refine_soul_document safely

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

refine_soul_document Rate-limited

refine_soul_document 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.
