What agenticow_checkpoint does on Ruflo

AI agents use agenticow_checkpoint 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_checkpoint needs a policy

This tool creates a checkpoint/snapshot of a memory file — a Write operation that creates a new restore point. It does not delete or overwrite existing data; rather it establishes a recoverable state. The COW (Copy-on-Write) mechanism means it is reversible by design. Severity is medium because misuse could clutter or corrupt the checkpoint history in an agent swarm context.

From the tool's definition freeze a labelled restore point on an .rvf memory file. Subsequent edits stay in a fresh COW child; rollback returns here.

Questions about agenticow_checkpoint

What does the agenticow_checkpoint tool do? +

agenticow — freeze a labelled restore point on an .rvf memory file. Subsequent edits stay in a fresh COW child; rollback returns here. Use when you are about to run an experimental Darwin tick or speculative agent edit that may need to be discarded. Relying on the working node alone is wrong because there is no. 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_checkpoint? +

Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agenticow_checkpoint: 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_checkpoint? +

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

Can I rate-limit agenticow_checkpoint? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agenticow_checkpoint 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_checkpoint completely? +

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

agenticow_checkpoint 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.
