WHAT IT DOES

What codex_dispatch_packet does on Nogra

AI agents invoke codex_dispatch_packet to trigger actions in Nogra. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why codex_dispatch_packet is rated High

codex_dispatch_packet triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs codex_dispatch_packet safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nogra, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For codex_dispatch_packet, this is the rule to start with:

codex_dispatch_packet Rate-limited

codex_dispatch_packet stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nogra, apply this rule, and every codex_dispatch_packet call is checked against it from then on.
