WHAT IT DOES

What automation_smart does on Aos

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

RISK

Why automation_smart is rated Medium

An AI agent can call automation_smart faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Aos by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs automation_smart safely

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

automation_smart Rate-limited

automation_smart 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.
