AI agents use provision_api_key to create or modify resources in MeatSpace. 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 provision_api_key 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 MeatSpace.

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 provision_api_key only ever does what you allow.

What does the provision_api_key tool do? +

Create a MeatSpace API key instantly. No authentication required. Returns a Bearer token for use with the ask_human tool. Max 5 active keys per email address.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MeatSpace MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on provision_api_key? +

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

What risk level is provision_api_key? +

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

Can I rate-limit provision_api_key? +

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

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

provision_api_key is provided by the MeatSpace MCP server (https://meatspace.run/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MeatSpace tool call.
