AI agents use retention_register_connection to create or modify resources in Nodebench. 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 retention_register_connection 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 Nodebench.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so retention_register_connection only ever does what you allow.

What does the retention_register_connection tool do? +

Register a retention.sh team connection in local MCP state so QA findings and token savings can flow into founder packets.. 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 retention_register_connection? +

Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for retention_register_connection: 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 retention_register_connection? +

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

Can I rate-limit retention_register_connection? +

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

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

retention_register_connection 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.

Enforce policy on every Nodebench tool call.
