What gated-acme does on Frontmcp
AI agents invoke gated-acme to trigger actions in Frontmcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why gated-acme is rated High
The description begins with 'Runs only when the per-session' but is cut off, providing very little information about what the tool actually does. The word 'Runs' suggests execution behavior, and the 'gated' prefix implies conditional/access-controlled execution. Given the incomplete description, confidence is low, but Execute is the best fit based on available evidence.
From the tool's definition 'Runs only when the per-session' — description is truncated/incomplete, but 'Runs' indicates execution behavior
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs gated-acme safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Frontmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gated-acme, this is the rule to start with:
gated-acme stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Frontmcp, apply this rule, and every gated-acme call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about gated-acme
Runs only when the per-session. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Frontmcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Front MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gated-acme: 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 Frontmcp. Nothing to install.
gated-acme is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gated-acme 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 gated-acme. 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.
gated-acme is provided by the Front MCP server (agentfront/frontmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
