Why oss_upload needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data in Alibaba Cloud's Object Storage Service (OSS) by uploading files. It is reversible—uploaded files can be deleted or overwritten later—making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'oss_upload' and description 'Upload a local file or directory to the specified OSS bucket' indicate creation/modification of data in cloud storage without irreversible deletion.

How to control oss_upload

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Wuying AgentBay, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for oss_upload:

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

oss_upload 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Wuying AgentBay — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
