What propose_synth_branches does on Livepilot
AI agents call propose_synth_branches to retrieve information from Livepilot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why propose_synth_branches is rated Low
Even though propose_synth_branches only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs propose_synth_branches safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Livepilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For propose_synth_branches, this is the rule to start with:
propose_synth_branches is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Livepilot, apply this rule, and every propose_synth_branches call is checked against it from then on.
