backend_users · Yaver MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What backend_users does on Yaver

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why backend_users needs a policy

Verdict

backend_users Rate-limited

backend_users 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.
