Force a full rescan of all configured folders, returning the diff (added/removed) and any per-file errors. Pass an optional folder name to validate it is currently configured (the rescan itself remains global).
AI agents call skills__reload to retrieve information from SkillForge MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a filesystem rescan and returns results (diff of added/removed skills, errors). It reads and refreshes an in-memory index but does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The worst-case misuse is a redundant scan. Severity is low because it has no destructive or external side effects.

Force a full rescan of all configured folders, returning the diff (added/removed) and any per-file errors. Pass an optional folder name to validate it is currently configured (the rescan itself remains global). It is categorised as a Read tool in the SkillForge MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SkillForge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for skills__reload: 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 SkillForge MCP. Nothing to install.
skills__reload is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the skills__reload 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 skills__reload. 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.
skills__reload is provided by the SkillForge MCP server (lyupro/skillforge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
