What forge_dry_run does on Arifos
AI agents invoke forge_dry_run to trigger actions in Arifos. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why forge_dry_run is rated High
The 'dry_run' suffix indicates execution of logic or code in a test mode whose effects depend on the arguments provided and the underlying 'forge' operation. Even in dry-run mode, this executes an operation (not merely reading or modifying static data). Given the empty description, confidence is moderate rather than high.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'forge_dry_run' suggests simulating or running a process ("forge") in a non-production mode ("dry_run"). The description is empty, limiting direct evidence.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs forge_dry_run safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Arifos, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For forge_dry_run, this is the rule to start with:
forge_dry_run stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Arifos, apply this rule, and every forge_dry_run call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about forge_dry_run
forge_dry_run is a execute tool on the Arifos MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Arifos MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Arifos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for forge_dry_run: 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 Arifos. Nothing to install.
forge_dry_run 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 forge_dry_run 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 forge_dry_run. 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.
forge_dry_run is provided by the Arifos MCP server (arifos). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
