WHAT IT DOES

What sync_provider_capacity does on Kiln

AI agents call sync_provider_capacity to retrieve information from Kiln without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why sync_provider_capacity is rated Low

Even though sync_provider_capacity only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sync_provider_capacity safely

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

sync_provider_capacity Allowed

sync_provider_capacity is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sync_provider_capacity": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Kiln, apply this rule, and every sync_provider_capacity call is checked against it from then on.
