AI agents use upload_asset to create or modify resources in Agentview. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call upload_asset repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Agentview.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so upload_asset only ever does what you allow.

What does the upload_asset tool do? +

Upload one or more files (images, fonts, CSS, video, etc.) as assets and receive stable URLs. Use these URLs in your HTML with <img src> or @font-face. Assets are cached on displays. Pass files as base64-encoded data. Requires authentication with at least content_only scope.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agentview MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on upload_asset? +

Register the Agentview MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for upload_asset: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Agentview. Nothing to install.

What risk level is upload_asset? +

upload_asset is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit upload_asset? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the upload_asset rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block upload_asset completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for upload_asset. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides upload_asset? +

upload_asset is provided by the Agentview MCP server (rafaelkocurek-nvob/agentview). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Agentview tool call.
