WHAT IT DOES

What preview_stop_serving does on Yaver

AI agents invoke preview_stop_serving to trigger actions in Yaver. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why preview_stop_serving is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation (process termination) that affects running infrastructure. While not destructive (the server can be restarted) or financial, it executes a command with real-world side effects on the developer's environment. The medium severity reflects that misuse interrupts development workflow but does not cause data loss or financial harm.

From the tool's definition 'Stop serving the active preview/dev server' — terminates an active process/service which is an external operation whose effects (halting development infrastructure) depend on the argument context (which preview is active).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs preview_stop_serving safely

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

preview_stop_serving Rate-limited

preview_stop_serving stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every preview_stop_serving call is checked against it from then on.
