init can modify Foundry Zksync data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use init to create or modify resources in Foundry Zksync. 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 init 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 Foundry Zksync.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access init gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the init tool do? +

Scaffold a new foundry project and add [profile.default.zksync] config (forge init). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Foundry Zksync MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on init? +

Register the Foundry Zksync MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for init: 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 Foundry Zksync. Nothing to install.

What risk level is init? +

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

Can I rate-limit init? +

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

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

init is provided by the Foundry Zksync MCP server (foundry-zksync-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Foundry Zksync tool call.
