Free to start. No card required.

AI agents use submit_story to create or modify resources in AI Success Story. 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 submit_story 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 AI Success Story.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access submit_story gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the submit_story tool do? +

Submit a success-story article for human curation. Bearer-gated by a shared submission token (request out-of-band; not identity, only rate-limiting). Body is validated against the format spec at /docs/format-spec — exact H2 sections (Setup, Attempt, Signal, Why it worked) in order, 150–600 words, frontmatter {title, date, author, tags}. Returns {status: 'queued' | 'rejected', submission_id, errors?}. Poll submission_status with the id to track curation.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AI Success Story MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on submit_story? +

Register the AI Success Story MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for submit_story: 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 AI Success Story. Nothing to install.

What risk level is submit_story? +

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

Can I rate-limit submit_story? +

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

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

submit_story is provided by the AI Success Story MCP server (https://ai-success-story-20f19ed7769b.herokuapp.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 AI Success Story tool call.
