sync_push can modify Ainote data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use sync_push to create or modify resources in Ainote. 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 sync_push 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 Ainote.

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

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

What does the sync_push tool do? +

Push a markdown file into the primary vault. Optional CAS via base_sha to detect concurrent multi-PC writes (Layer 3 of multi-PC sync plan). WAF-bypass tip: large bodies (~10KB+) that get false-positive blocked at Cloudflare can be sent via content_b64 (base64-encoded) OR content prefixed with __B64__: instead.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ainote MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on sync_push? +

Register the Ainote MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sync_push: 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 sync_push? +

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

Can I rate-limit sync_push? +

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

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

sync_push 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.
