What hives_reconcile does on Genesis
AI agents use hives_reconcile to create or update resources in Genesis, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Genesis environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
bucket_id | string | Yes | |
project_id | string | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why hives_reconcile is rated Medium
An AI agent can call hives_reconcile faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Genesis by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs hives_reconcile safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genesis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For hives_reconcile, this is the rule to start with:
hives_reconcile 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 Genesis, apply this rule, and every hives_reconcile call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about hives_reconcile
Explicit recovery observes provider generations. It never replays an unknown PUT payload or marks an uncertain CREATE safe for subsequent bucket deletion. (POST /v1/hives/projects/{project_id}/storage/buckets/{bucket_id}/reconcile) [service status: down]. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Genesis MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
hives_reconcile accepts 2 parameters: bucket_id, project_id. Required: bucket_id, project_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Genesis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hives_reconcile: 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 Genesis. Nothing to install.
hives_reconcile 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 hives_reconcile 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 hives_reconcile. 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.
hives_reconcile is provided by the Genesis MCP server (@lifesi/genesis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
