WHAT IT DOES

What http_request_build does on Jshookmcp

AI agents invoke http_request_build to trigger actions in Jshookmcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why http_request_build is rated High

Crafting arbitrary HTTP requests enables external API calls, data exfiltration, or server exploitation depending on payload arguments.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs http_request_build safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Jshookmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For http_request_build, this is the rule to start with:

http_request_build Rate-limited

http_request_build stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "http_request_build": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "http_request_build_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every http_request_build call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about http_request_build

What does the http_request_build tool do? +

Build a raw HTTP/1.x request payload. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Jshookmcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on http_request_build? +

Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for http_request_build: 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 Jshookmcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is http_request_build? +

http_request_build is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit http_request_build? +

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

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

http_request_build is provided by the Jshook MCP server (@jshookmcp/jshook). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
