Why project_runtime_apply is rated Medium
This tool modifies project configuration files (.yaver/project.yaml) and triggers manifest application and sandbox promotions. These are reversible write operations rather than destructive deletions, but the ability to merge provider updates and run promotions creates a significant blast radius if an AI agent applies unintended changes to runtime configurations or deploys to production sandboxes without…
From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Merge runtime/provider updates into .yaver/project.yaml' and 'run manifest apply', indicating it modifies configuration files and executes deployment/promotion operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs project_runtime_apply 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 project_runtime_apply, this is the rule to start with:
project_runtime_apply 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every project_runtime_apply call is checked against it from then on.

Merge runtime/provider updates into .yaver/project.yaml, optionally connect provider accounts, run manifest apply, and plan or run mobile sandbox promotions. Supports either a project directory or a phoneSlug for phone-first sandboxes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
project_runtime_apply accepts 12 parameters: env, auth, jobs, name, stack, dryRun, backend, domains, runtime, directory, phoneSlug, placement. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_runtime_apply: 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 Yaver. Nothing to install.
project_runtime_apply is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project_runtime_apply 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project_runtime_apply. 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.
project_runtime_apply is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
