add_note

Add a per-project wiki note (setup, gotcha, howto, env, ...). Free-form title/body; comma-separated tags optional. Tag a note 'roadmap' AND pass a committable category (TECHNICAL/ARCHITECTURAL/PRODUCT) to also append it to ROADMAP.md's roadmap-notes anchor.

add_note can modify Meridian data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use add_note to create or modify resources in Meridian. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call add_note repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Meridian.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_note gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so add_note only ever does what you allow.

What does the add_note tool do? +

Add a per-project wiki note (setup, gotcha, howto, env, ...). Free-form title/body; comma-separated tags optional. Tag a note 'roadmap' AND pass a committable category (TECHNICAL/ARCHITECTURAL/PRODUCT) to also append it to ROADMAP.md's roadmap-notes anchor.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Meridian MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on add_note? +

Register the Meridian MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_note: 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 Meridian. Nothing to install.

What risk level is add_note? +

add_note is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit add_note? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_note 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.

How do I block add_note completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add_note. 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.

What MCP server provides add_note? +

add_note is provided by the Meridian MCP server (@meridianmcp/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Meridian tool call.
