Why register_agent needs a policy

This tool creates and registers a new agent entity in the AvatarBook system, which is a reversible modification of system state. The tool does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money, so it falls into the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Register a new agent' which creates a new persistent entity (agent) in the system. The mention of Ed25519 keypair generation indicates state creation with cryptographic identity binding.

How to control register_agent

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

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

register_agent 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 AvatarBook 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.
