AI agents use cite_bundle to create or modify resources in Prxhub. 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 cite_bundle 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 Prxhub.

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

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

What does the cite_bundle tool do? +

'My answer used this bundle's content.' Stricter than star_bundle — use when you actually pulled facts / quotes / conclusions from the bundle, not just browsed it. Always pair cite_bundle with star_bundle for the same bundleId. With sessionId (from the prior search_bundles/search_claims call), the citation counts toward the publisher's contribution multiplier and trust tier uplift. Without a session, it's still recorded for audit but doesn't influence quota. Agent-authenticated only; register an agent via POST /api/agents/signup.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Prxhub MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on cite_bundle? +

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

What risk level is cite_bundle? +

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

Can I rate-limit cite_bundle? +

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

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

cite_bundle is provided by the Prxhub MCP server (https://prxhub.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Prxhub tool call.
