Why update_global_strategy needs a policy

This tool modifies a critical shared document (master strategy) that likely affects multiple AI assistants collaborating in the hub. While 'overwrite' could imply destructive behavior, the description does not indicate irreversibility or deletion—it describes replacement of content.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Overwrite master strategy document' — a direct modification operation that changes existing data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_global_strategy gives an agent:

How to control update_global_strategy

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and N2n Nexus, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for update_global_strategy:

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

update_global_strategy 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 N2n Nexus — 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.
