What set_agent_uri does on Waiaas
AI agents use set_agent_uri 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.
Why set_agent_uri is rated Medium
This is a Write operation because it updates data (agent registration URI) in a reversible manner. Severity is medium because while it doesn't directly move funds or execute arbitrary code, modifying agent registration in an identity registry could affect how agents are identified or authenticated in the system, potentially enabling impersonation or routing attacks if an AI agent sets a malicious URI pointing to…
From the tool's definition 'Update agent registration file URI on Identity Registry' indicates the tool modifies an existing registration record by changing its URI reference.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_agent_uri safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Waiaas, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_agent_uri, this is the rule to start with:
set_agent_uri 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Waiaas, apply this rule, and every set_agent_uri call is checked against it from then on.

set_agent_uri is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_agent_uri 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.
