Apply surgical patches to an Edict AST by nodeId, then run the full check pipeline. Use this to fix errors without resubmitting the entire AST. Each patch specifies a nodeId, an operation (replace/delete/insert), and the relevant field/value.

AI agents use edict_patch to create or modify resources in Edict Lang. 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 edict_patch 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 Edict Lang.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access edict_patch gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Apply surgical patches to an Edict AST by nodeId, then run the full check pipeline. Use this to fix errors without resubmitting the entire AST. Each patch specifies a nodeId, an operation (replace/delete/insert), and the relevant field/value.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Edict Lang MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Edict Lang MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for edict_patch: 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 Edict Lang. Nothing to install.
edict_patch is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the edict_patch 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 edict_patch. 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.
edict_patch is provided by the Edict Lang MCP server (edict-lang). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
