Runs ruff format and returns structured results (files changed, file list).
AI agents invoke ruff-format to trigger actions in Make. 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.
This tool executes an external code formatting command (ruff format) that modifies files on disk. While formatting is typically reversible via version control, it does alter file contents automatically. The blast radius is medium since it could reformat many files across a codebase, potentially causing unwanted changes if run in the wrong directory or context.
From the tool's definition 'Runs ruff format' — executes the ruff formatter tool, which modifies source files in place
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ruff-format gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Make, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ruff-format:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ruff-format": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "ruff-format_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}ruff-format 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.

Runs ruff format and returns structured results (files changed, file list). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Make MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ruff-format: 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 Make. Nothing to install.
ruff-format 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 ruff-format 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 ruff-format. 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.
ruff-format is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
