AI agents use schedule_post to create or modify resources in Postbolt. 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 schedule_post 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 Postbolt.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access schedule_post 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 schedule_post only ever does what you allow.

What does the schedule_post tool do? +

Schedule a post for future publication. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Postbolt MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on schedule_post? +

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

What risk level is schedule_post? +

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

Can I rate-limit schedule_post? +

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

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

schedule_post is provided by the Postbolt MCP server (postbolt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Postbolt tool call.
