Short markdown stub for CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md: project path, index stats, optional package.json script hints (test/build/lint), rule-based bullets — not a full project_briefing.

AI agents invoke agent_rules_stub to trigger processes or run actions in Vibe Hnindex. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
agent_rules_stub can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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

Short markdown stub for CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md: project path, index stats, optional package.json script hints (test/build/lint), rule-based bullets — not a full project_briefing.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Vibe Hnindex MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Vibe Hnindex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agent_rules_stub: 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 Vibe Hnindex. Nothing to install.
agent_rules_stub is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agent_rules_stub 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for agent_rules_stub. 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.
agent_rules_stub is provided by the Vibe Hnindex MCP server (vibe-hnindex). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
