What rollup does on Build
AI agents invoke rollup to trigger actions in Build. 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 rollup is rated High
The tool executes an external build process (Rollup bundler). Running a bundler can execute arbitrary build plugins, read/transform files, and write output bundles. The primary action is triggering an external process, making this Execute. Severity is medium because while it runs external code, it is scoped to the bundling workflow rather than arbitrary shell commands.
From the tool's definition "Runs Rollup bundler" — actively executes the Rollup build tool/bundler process
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rollup safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Build, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rollup, this is the rule to start with:
rollup 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 Build, apply this rule, and every rollup call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rollup
Runs Rollup bundler and returns structured bundle output with errors and warnings. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Build MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Build MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rollup: 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 Build. Nothing to install.
rollup 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 rollup 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 rollup. 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.
rollup is provided by the Build MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
