What sync_context does on Aurai Advisor (上级顾问 MCP)

AI agents use sync_context to create or update resources in Aurai Advisor (上级顾问 MCP) — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aurai Advisor (上级顾问 MCP) environment.

Why sync_context needs a policy

The tool name 'sync_context' combined with the server's description of 'context synchronization' suggests this tool writes/updates shared context or session state between the local AI and remote providers. Since the description is empty, confidence is low, but 'sync' typically implies a write/update operation. Severity is medium as misuse could corrupt session context or leak sensitive conversation data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sync_context' and server description mentions 'context synchronization' and 'session history tracking'

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sync_context gives an agent:

How to control sync_context

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Aurai Advisor (上级顾问 MCP), and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sync_context:

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

sync_context 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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
