The rule that runs federation_bbs_human_join safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ruflo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For federation_bbs_human_join, this is the rule to start with:
federation_bbs_human_join 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ruflo, apply this rule, and every federation_bbs_human_join call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about federation_bbs_human_join
agentbbs — Mint a single-use Ed25519-signed token a human business owner presents to the agentbbs SSH/web front door to join a room (ADR-164 §3.2.4). Returns webUrl + sshCommand + handshakeToken + expiresAt. Use when the cockpit operator needs scoped, time-limited access to a room without sharing the federation root keypair. Issuing a permanent bearer token is wrong because the agentbbs server enforces single-use JTI replay protection and the 15-min default TTL — a long-lived token defeats both. 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.
Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for federation_bbs_human_join: 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.
federation_bbs_human_join 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 federation_bbs_human_join 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.
