Why fw_upload_track needs a policy

Uploading an audio file creates or adds new data to a library, which is a reversible Write operation. While it modifies state, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or have financial implications. The incomplete description ('Pass') suggests partial documentation, which slightly lowers confidence but does not change the core classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fw_upload_track' and description 'Upload an audio file to a library' indicate a file creation/upload operation that modifies library state.

How to control fw_upload_track

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

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

fw_upload_track 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 Crow — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
