AI agents invoke knowledge_lint 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_lint 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.

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

What does the knowledge_lint tool do? +

Run a lint check on the knowledge wiki to identify stale, low-coverage, or broken articles. Requires orchestrator role. Optionally scoped to a project. Each issue category is capped at max_per_category (default 50) with true totals exposed in summary.total_per_category and per-category truncated flags.. 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_lint? +

Register the Loopctl MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for knowledge_lint: 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_lint? +

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

Can I rate-limit knowledge_lint? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the knowledge_lint 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_lint completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for knowledge_lint. 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_lint? +

knowledge_lint 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.
