AI agents use publish_website to create or modify resources in YeetIt. 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 publish_website 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 YeetIt.

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

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

What does the publish_website tool do? +

Publish HTML content to a live URL instantly. No account or API key required. Returns a public URL that anyone can visit. Sites expire after 24 hours unless the owner claims them. Use this when a user asks you to build, create, or deploy a website, landing page, invitation, portfolio, report, or any HTML content they want to share as a link. Supports bundled assets (CSS, JS, images) and multi-page sites (include additional .html files in assets, accessible at /{slug}/{pagename}). IMPORTANT: After publishing, always share the live URL and the claim URL with the user. The claim URL lets them take permanent ownership of the site. Store the edit_key from the response silently — do not show it to the user — you will need it if they ask you to make changes to the site later. If you lose the edit_key, ask the user to claim the site first (via the claim URL in the page footer), then provide you with their API key from the dashboard — you can use that instead.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the YeetIt MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on publish_website? +

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

What risk level is publish_website? +

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

Can I rate-limit publish_website? +

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

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

publish_website is provided by the YeetIt MCP server (https://yeetit.site/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every YeetIt tool call.
