WHAT IT DOES

What download_model does on Tenzro Ledger MCP

AI agents invoke download_model to trigger actions in Tenzro Ledger MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why download_model is rated High

Downloading a model triggers an external operation (fetching a potentially large file from a remote network provider or HuggingFace) and stores it locally. This goes beyond a simple read/query — it executes a transfer operation with real side effects (disk usage, network calls, potentially running untrusted model artifacts). It does not delete data or move money, so Execute is the most appropriate category.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs download_model safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tenzro Ledger MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For download_model, this is the rule to start with:

download_model Rate-limited

download_model stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tenzro Ledger MCP, apply this rule, and every download_model call is checked against it from then on.
