AI agents use swarmhaul_post_task to create or modify resources in SwarmHaul. 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 swarmhaul_post_task 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 SwarmHaul.

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

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so swarmhaul_post_task only ever does what you allow.

What does the swarmhaul_post_task tool do? +

Post a new delivery task to the SwarmHaul marketplace. Triggers an on-chain list_package transaction. Autonomous agents will bid on it within seconds.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SwarmHaul MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on swarmhaul_post_task? +

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

What risk level is swarmhaul_post_task? +

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

Can I rate-limit swarmhaul_post_task? +

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

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

swarmhaul_post_task is provided by the SwarmHaul MCP server (https://api.swarmhaul.defited.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 SwarmHaul tool call.
