What pillar_add_admin does on Aibtc
AI agents use pillar_add_admin to create or update resources in Aibtc, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aibtc environment.
Why pillar_add_admin is rated Medium
This tool modifies wallet state by adding a new admin address, which is a reversible write operation (the admin could presumably be removed). However, severity is elevated to 'high' because misconfiguration of wallet admin privileges could enable account takeover or unauthorized access to funds if an attacker-controlled address is added as backup admin.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pillar_add_admin' and description 'Add a backup admin address to your Pillar smart wallet for recovery purposes' indicate creation/modification of wallet configuration by adding an administrative address.

The rule that runs pillar_add_admin safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aibtc, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For pillar_add_admin, this is the rule to start with:
pillar_add_admin 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 Aibtc, apply this rule, and every pillar_add_admin call is checked against it from then on.
