Why orgo_upload_file needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies files in a managed workspace environment. The action is reversible (files can be deleted), and while it could be misused to inject malicious payloads or credentials, the blast radius is constrained by the 10MB limit and workspace isolation.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Upload a file to a workspace' and 'file lands in the workspace and can be referenced by computers in it', indicating file creation/modification with reversible effects.

How to control orgo_upload_file

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

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

orgo_upload_file 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 Orgo MCP Server — 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.
