AI agents may call handoff_get to permanently remove or destroy resources in Ainote. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call handoff_get in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Ainote. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

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

What does the handoff_get tool do? +

Retrieve a session handoff by project + topic. If date is omitted, returns the most recent matching handoff. Pass time (HHMM, KST) to fetch a specific same-day save when multiple exist. SIDE EFFECT: also runs the 7-day stale-handoff purge on every call (same as handoff_list/save), so it is NOT read-only.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Ainote MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on handoff_get? +

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

What risk level is handoff_get? +

handoff_get is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit handoff_get? +

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

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

handoff_get is provided by the Ainote MCP server (@ainote/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ainote tool call.
