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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access agent_mark_read 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.
Mark a message as read (read receipt). Only the recipient can do this.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Voidly MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Voidly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agent_mark_read: 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 Voidly. Nothing to install.
agent_mark_read 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 agent_mark_read 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 agent_mark_read. 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.
agent_mark_read is provided by the Voidly MCP server (@voidly/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
