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

AI agents use resolve_kb_id to create or modify resources in Fixflow. 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 resolve_kb_id 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 Fixflow.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access resolve_kb_id 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 resolve_kb_id only ever does what you allow.

What does the resolve_kb_id tool do? +

FIRST STEP in any troubleshooting workflow. Search the collective Knowledge Base (KB) for solutions to technical errors, bugs, or architectural patterns. Uses full-text search across titles, content, tags, and categories. Results are ranked by relevance and success rate. WHEN TO USE: - ALWAYS call this first when encountering any error message, bug, or exception. - Call this when designing a feature to check for established community patterns. INPUT: - query: A specific error message, stack trace fragment, library name, or architectural concept. - category: (Optional) Filter by category (e.g., 'devops', 'terminal', 'supabase'). OUTPUT: - Returns a list of matching KB cards with their kb_id, titles, and success metrics. - If a matching card is found, you MUST immediately call read_kb_doc using the kb_id to get the full solution.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Fixflow MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on resolve_kb_id? +

Register the Fixflow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resolve_kb_id: 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 Fixflow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is resolve_kb_id? +

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

Can I rate-limit resolve_kb_id? +

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

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

resolve_kb_id is provided by the Fixflow MCP server (https://fixflow-mcp.onrender.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Fixflow tool call.
