Why hiveagent_dao_execute_proposal is rated High
Although the tool does not directly execute arbitrary code or shell commands, executing a DAO proposal is a consequential action that triggers external operations (transfers, parameter changes, governance actions, etc.) whose outcomes depend on proposal arguments.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'execute' and description states 'Execute passed proposal' — this triggers execution of a proposal which is an operation whose effects depend on the proposal's contents and cannot be predicted without examining the proposal itself.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs hiveagent_dao_execute_proposal safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hiveagent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For hiveagent_dao_execute_proposal, this is the rule to start with:
hiveagent_dao_execute_proposal 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 Hiveagent, apply this rule, and every hiveagent_dao_execute_proposal call is checked against it from then on.
