WHAT IT DOES

What crow_generate_background does on Crow

AI agents invoke crow_generate_background to trigger actions in Crow. 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 crow_generate_background is rated High

This tool executes an external AI inference pipeline (SDXL Turbo) and applies the output to system state. It is not a simple read or write; it triggers a compute operation with side effects (image generation + setting the companion background), placing it in the Execute category. Severity is medium because misuse could consume compute resources or alter UI/companion state, but blast radius is limited.

From the tool's definition 'Generate a new AI background image via SDXL Turbo' — triggers an external AI image generation model (SDXL Turbo) and sets the result as the companion background

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs crow_generate_background safely

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

crow_generate_background Rate-limited

crow_generate_background 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.

Can I rate-limit crow_generate_background? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for crow_generate_background. 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.
