What pmpt_save does on Pmpt

AI agents use pmpt_save to create or update resources in Pmpt — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Pmpt environment.

Why pmpt_save needs a policy

This tool creates and modifies project milestone snapshots with associated metadata (summaries) that are persistently stored and published to pmptwiki.com. While it stores data reversibly (new versions can be created but previous ones remain accessible as history), the core operation is creating/writing new snapshot records.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Save a snapshot' and 'becomes the version description shown publicly on pmptwiki.com', indicating creation/modification of versioned project data.

How to control pmpt_save

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

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

pmpt_save 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 Pmpt — 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.
