Why rss_source_save_many needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies multiple RSS source configurations in Legado. While reversible (sources can be edited or deleted later), the bulk nature and lack of explicit description create moderate risk of unintended data creation or misconfiguration. Categorized as Write rather than Destructive since the operation is reversible and doesn't permanently delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'rss_source_save_many' indicates bulk creation or modification of RSS sources. Sibling tools like 'book_save' and 'book_add_local' are clearly write operations, establishing the pattern. The 'save_many' suffix suggests batch writing of data.

How to control rss_source_save_many

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Legado, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rss_source_save_many:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "rss_source_save_many": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "rss_source_save_many_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

rss_source_save_many stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Legado — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
