AI agents use km_publish to create or modify resources in Knowmint. 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 km_publish 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 Knowmint.

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 km_publish only ever does what you allow.

What does the km_publish tool do? +

Create and publish a new knowledge item in one step. Either price_sol or price_usdc must be specified.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Knowmint MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on km_publish? +

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

What risk level is km_publish? +

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

Can I rate-limit km_publish? +

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

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

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

Enforce policy on every Knowmint tool call.
