net_headers · Ruyipage MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What net_headers does on Ruyipage

AI agents invoke net_headers to trigger actions in Ruyipage. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why net_headers needs a policy

Modifying request headers affects all subsequent browser network requests, potentially injecting authentication tokens, modifying origin/referer headers, or altering content negotiation. This is an active operation with side effects on external communications rather than a simple read or reversible data write.

Verdict

net_headers Rate-limited

net_headers 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.
