WHAT IT DOES

What learn_conventions does on Aos

AI agents use learn_conventions 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 learn_conventions is rated Medium

An AI agent can call learn_conventions 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 learn_conventions 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 learn_conventions, this is the rule to start with:

learn_conventions Rate-limited

learn_conventions 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Aos, apply this rule, and every learn_conventions call is checked against it from then on.
