List all stealable issues Use when nothing native covers per-agent capability gating — Claude Code agents have file-system access by default. Pair claims_grant + claims_check before letting an agent run privileged ops. For trusted in-session work, no claims call is needed.
AI agents call claims_stealable to retrieve information from Claude Flow without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool's primary action is listing stealable issues, which is a read operation. However, the context is security-sensitive: it exposes information about which capability claims can be stolen or hijacked by agents, potentially enabling privilege escalation.
From the tool's definition "List all stealable issues" — the tool lists/enumerates stealable claims or issues, which is a read/query operation.

List all stealable issues Use when nothing native covers per-agent capability gating — Claude Code agents have file-system access by default. Pair claims_grant + claims_check before letting an agent run privileged ops. For trusted in-session work, no claims call is needed. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for claims_stealable: 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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.
claims_stealable is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the claims_stealable 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 claims_stealable. 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.
claims_stealable is provided by the Claude Flow MCP server (claude-flow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
