Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs edit_reef_comment safely

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