AI agents use contentrain_merge to create or modify resources in Contentrain. 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 contentrain_merge 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 Contentrain.

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

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

What does the contentrain_merge tool do? +

Merge a review-mode branch into contentrain. Local git operation — no external platform needed. Merges the feature branch into the contentrain branch, advances the base branch via update-ref, selectively syncs .contentrain/ files to the working tree, and prunes the merged branch. Target by exact "branch" name, or resolve by "model" (+ optional "locale"/"latest").. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Contentrain MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on contentrain_merge? +

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

What risk level is contentrain_merge? +

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

Can I rate-limit contentrain_merge? +

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

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

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

Enforce policy on every Contentrain tool call.
