knowledge_index

Load the knowledge wiki catalog at session start. Returns article metadata grouped by category. Pass story_id when working on a loopctl story so reads attribute correctly.

Part of the Loopctl server.

knowledge_index can trigger actions in Loopctl, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

Free to start. No card required.

AI agents invoke knowledge_index to trigger processes or run actions in Loopctl. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

knowledge_index can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access knowledge_index gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so knowledge_index only ever does what you allow.

What does the knowledge_index tool do? +

Load the knowledge wiki catalog at session start. Returns article metadata grouped by category. Pass story_id when working on a loopctl story so reads attribute correctly.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Loopctl MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on knowledge_index? +

Register the Loopctl MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for knowledge_index: 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 Loopctl. Nothing to install.

What risk level is knowledge_index? +

knowledge_index is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit knowledge_index? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the knowledge_index 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.

How do I block knowledge_index completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for knowledge_index. 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.

What MCP server provides knowledge_index? +

knowledge_index is provided by the Loopctl MCP server (loopctl-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Loopctl tool call.
