WHAT IT DOES

What reg_export does on Mcp Hands

AI agents use reg_export to create or update resources in Mcp Hands, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Hands environment.

RISK

Why reg_export is rated Medium

An AI agent can call reg_export faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Mcp Hands by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs reg_export safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Hands, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For reg_export, this is the rule to start with:

reg_export Rate-limited

reg_export 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.

What risk level is reg_export? +

reg_export is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit reg_export? +

How do I block reg_export completely? +
