install_policy_gate

Write the AgentScore Policy Gate workflow file to this repo. Creates .github/workflows/agentscore-policy-gate.yml with OIDC authentication (no API key needed). Detects MCP dependencies and includes them in the workflow. The gate will auto-provision the repo on first push.

AI agents use install_policy_gate to create or modify resources in Agentscore Xyz. 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 install_policy_gate 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 Agentscore Xyz.

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 install_policy_gate only ever does what you allow.

What does the install_policy_gate tool do? +

Write the AgentScore Policy Gate workflow file to this repo. Creates .github/workflows/agentscore-policy-gate.yml with OIDC authentication (no API key needed). Detects MCP dependencies and includes them in the workflow. The gate will auto-provision the repo on first push.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agentscore Xyz MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on install_policy_gate? +

Register the Agentscore Xyz MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for install_policy_gate: 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 Agentscore Xyz. Nothing to install.

What risk level is install_policy_gate? +

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

Can I rate-limit install_policy_gate? +

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

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

install_policy_gate is provided by the Agentscore Xyz MCP server (@agentscore-xyz/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 Agentscore Xyz tool call.
