AI agents use save_file to create or modify resources in Stellify. 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 save_file 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 Stellify.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Finalize a file. Full replacement - call get_file first to update existing files. Required: uuid, name, type. For significant changes, include context fields: summary, rationale, references, decisions.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Stellify MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Stellify MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for save_file: 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 Stellify. Nothing to install.
save_file 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 save_file 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 save_file. 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.
save_file is provided by the Stellify MCP server (Stellify-Software-Ltd/stellify-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
