AI agents use hivebank_create_stream to create or modify resources in HiveBank. 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 hivebank_create_stream 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 HiveBank.

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 hivebank_create_stream only ever does what you allow.

What does the hivebank_create_stream tool do? +

Create a programmable per-second payment stream between two agents. Funds flow continuously from sender to receiver over the specified duration.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the HiveBank MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on hivebank_create_stream? +

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

What risk level is hivebank_create_stream? +

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

Can I rate-limit hivebank_create_stream? +

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

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

hivebank_create_stream is provided by the HiveBank MCP server (https://hivebank.onrender.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every HiveBank tool call.
