What give_feedback does on Waiaas

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

Medium Risk

Why give_feedback needs a policy

The tool writes/posts reputation feedback data to a registry, which is a reversible data modification (creating a new record). It does not delete, execute code, or move funds. However, it could be misused to manipulate agent reputation at scale, warranting medium severity.

How to control give_feedback

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

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

give_feedback 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 Waiaas — 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.
