Why learn_system_ingest needs a policy

This tool fetches content from a URL and writes/stores it into the learning system's knowledge base. It creates or modifies data within the system (adding new knowledge entries), which is a Write operation. It is reversible in principle (knowledge could be removed), so it doesn't qualify as Destructive.

How to control learn_system_ingest

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

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

learn_system_ingest 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 BWVI — 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.
