What agenticow_branch does on Ruflo

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

Why agenticow_branch needs a policy

This tool creates a new copy-on-write branch of a memory file, which is a Write operation — it creates new data (a 162-byte branch entry) derived from a parent file. It does not delete or overwrite existing data, and while it modifies the memory system it does so reversibly (branches can presumably be discarded).

From the tool's definition COW-fork a base .rvf memory file... per-Darwin-iteration / per-user / per-session memory personalization... agenticow gives read-through semantics (parent ∪ edits, child wins) at constant 162 B

Questions about agenticow_branch

What does the agenticow_branch tool do? +

agenticow@~0.2.3 — COW-fork a base .rvf memory file. Measured 162-byte branches regardless of base size (verified at N=1k/10k/50k). Use when you need per-Darwin-iteration / per-user / per-session memory personalization. Copying the parent .rvf file is wrong because full-copy snapshots grow linearly (the 3.3 GB Darwin-worktree bloat fixed in v3.14.4); agenticow gives read-through semantics (parent ∪ edits, child wins) at constant 162 B. Optional dep — degrades to {degraded:true} when missing. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on agenticow_branch? +

Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agenticow_branch: 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 Ruflo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is agenticow_branch? +

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

Can I rate-limit agenticow_branch? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agenticow_branch 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 agenticow_branch completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for agenticow_branch. 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 agenticow_branch? +

agenticow_branch is provided by the Ruflo MCP server (ruvnet/ruflo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
