Install myOperator UI components using natural language or component names. Examples: - "add button" - installs button component - "add a login form" - installs text-field, button, checkbox - "install button, input, and select" - installs multiple components - "I need a data table with status bad...

install-component can modify Myoperator data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use install-component to create or modify resources in Myoperator. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call install-component repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Myoperator.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access install-component gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so install-component only ever does what you allow.

What does the install-component tool do? +

Install myOperator UI components using natural language or component names. Examples: - "add button" - installs button component - "add a login form" - installs text-field, button, checkbox - "install button, input, and select" - installs multiple components - "I need a data table with status badges" - installs table and badge Runs: npx myoperator-ui add <component>. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Myoperator MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on install-component? +

Register the Myoperator MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for install-component: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Myoperator. Nothing to install.

What risk level is install-component? +

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

Can I rate-limit install-component? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the install-component 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.

How do I block install-component completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for install-component. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides install-component? +

install-component is provided by the Myoperator MCP server (myoperator-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Myoperator tool call.
