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

Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Publish a markdown article to one CMS platform: devto, ghost, hashnode, wordpress, medium, or substack. Costs 1 credit per call. Requires platform credentials configured via the 'setup' tool. Supports draft|published status, tags, canonical_url, series, and cover image. Substack is published via reverse-engineered cookie auth. Returns: { url, id, platform, status }. Common errors: platform not configured (VALIDATION_ERROR), credit exhaustion (PAYMENT_REQUIRED), upstream 4xx/5xx (PLATFORM_ERROR), network timeout (NETWORK_ERROR).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pipepost MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pipepost MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for publish: 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 Pipepost. Nothing to install.
publish 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 publish 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 publish. 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.
publish is provided by the Pipepost MCP server (pipepost-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
