AI agents use archive_provenance to create or modify resources in Colour Memory. 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 archive_provenance 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 Colour Memory.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access archive_provenance gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Explain the provenance of any named archive colour with explicit separation of: documented historical fact, computational hex derivation, and cultural interpretation. Returns: claim, evidence type, source specificity, confidence, what is documented, what is inferred, what is interpretive, hex status, and citation format. This is the trust endpoint. It answers 'how do you know this?' Essential for any use case requiring intellectual honesty about colour data provenance.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Colour Memory MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Colour Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for archive_provenance: 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 Colour Memory. Nothing to install.
archive_provenance is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the archive_provenance 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 archive_provenance. 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.
archive_provenance is provided by the Colour Memory MCP server (https://colour-memory-api-production.up.railway.app/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
