Create a new sequence (a named, reusable on-device script). Body is FarmBot
AI agents use farmbot_add_sequence to create or update resources in Farmbot Agent — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Farmbot Agent environment.
Creating a sequence is a reversible write operation — it adds data to the FarmBot device but does not execute it, delete data, move money, or trigger irreversible hardware actions. However, since sequences can later be executed to control physical hardware (gantry movement, planting, watering), there is medium severity risk if an AI agent creates a malicious sequence.
From the tool's definition Tool creates a new sequence (named, reusable on-device script), which is a reversible data creation operation. The description explicitly states 'Create a new sequence', placing it in the Write category.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Create a new sequence (a named, reusable on-device script). Body is FarmBot. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Farmbot Agent MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Farmbot Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for farmbot_add_sequence: 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 Farmbot Agent. Nothing to install.
farmbot_add_sequence is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the farmbot_add_sequence 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for farmbot_add_sequence. 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.
farmbot_add_sequence is provided by the Farmbot Agent MCP server (kieranklaassen/farmbot-agent-cli-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
farmbot_add_sequence is one line of Farmbot Agent's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
