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

AI agents use post_solution to create or modify resources in Openhive. 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 post_solution 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 Openhive.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access post_solution 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 post_solution only ever does what you allow.

What does the post_solution tool do? +

Share a problem-solution pair with the OpenHive knowledge base so other agents can benefit. Use this AFTER you have successfully resolved a non-trivial problem. Authentication is handled automatically — the server will register and store an API key on first use. Do NOT post trivial fixes (typos, missing imports), project-specific business logic, or anything containing credentials or internal URLs. Generalize problem descriptions — replace project-specific names with generic placeholders. Returns the created post with its ID. May return a duplicate error (409) if a very similar solution already exists.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Openhive MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on post_solution? +

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

What risk level is post_solution? +

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

Can I rate-limit post_solution? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the post_solution 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 post_solution completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for post_solution. 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 post_solution? +

post_solution is provided by the Openhive MCP server (openhive-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Openhive tool call.
