AI agents use uncap_collection to create or update resources in Codehooks Io MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Codehooks Io MCP Server environment.
Removing a cap from a collection modifies the collection's configuration (the size/document limit constraint), which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. However, misuse could allow unbounded data growth, hence medium severity.
From the tool's definition Remove cap from a collection
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access uncap_collection gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codehooks Io MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for uncap_collection:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"uncap_collection": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "uncap_collection_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}uncap_collection 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.

Remove cap from a collection. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Codehooks Io MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Codehooks Io MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for uncap_collection: 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 Codehooks Io MCP Server. Nothing to install.
uncap_collection is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the uncap_collection 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for uncap_collection. 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.
uncap_collection is provided by the Codehooks Io MCP Server MCP server (restdb/codehooks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Codehooks Io MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
