WHAT IT DOES

What ingest_upload does on Nodebench

AI agents use ingest_upload to create or update resources in Nodebench, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nodebench environment.

RISK

Why ingest_upload is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data by ingesting uploaded file content into a system. It is reversible (ingested data can be modified or removed) and does not delete data irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Ingest uploaded file content into the NodeBench entity intelligence system' — 'ingest' and 'upload' indicate data ingestion/modification into a system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ingest_upload safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ingest_upload, this is the rule to start with:

ingest_upload Rate-limited

ingest_upload stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about ingest_upload

What does the ingest_upload tool do? +

Ingest uploaded file content into the NodeBench entity intelligence system. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on ingest_upload? +

Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ingest_upload: 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 Nodebench. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ingest_upload? +

ingest_upload is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit ingest_upload? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ingest_upload 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 ingest_upload completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ingest_upload. 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 ingest_upload? +

ingest_upload is provided by the Nodebench MCP server (nodebench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
