What rollup does on Http

AI agents invoke rollup to trigger actions in Http. 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.

High Risk

Why rollup needs a policy

This tool executes the Rollup JavaScript bundler, which runs external code/processes. The bundler processes files from the filesystem and produces output bundles. An AI agent could misuse this to trigger execution of arbitrary build configurations or scripts defined in rollup.config files, potentially leading to unintended code execution.

From the tool's definition 'Runs Rollup bundler' — explicitly executes the Rollup bundler tool as an external process

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access rollup gives an agent:

How to control rollup

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Http, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rollup:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "rollup": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "rollup_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

  1. Create a free account and register Http — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about rollup

What does the rollup tool do? +

Runs Rollup bundler and returns structured bundle output with errors and warnings. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Http MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on rollup? +

Register the Http 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 Http. Nothing to install.

What risk level is rollup? +

rollup is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit rollup? +

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.

How do I block rollup completely? +

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.

What MCP server provides rollup? +

rollup is provided by the Http MCP server (@paretools/http). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Http tool call.

Start from Http, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
