What gt_beads_dep does on Ruflo
AI agents use gt_beads_dep 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 gt_beads_dep is rated Medium
The tool creates or modifies dependency relationships between 'beads' (likely workflow or agent components). Adding/removing dependencies is a reversible write operation — it modifies configuration/graph structure but does not permanently destroy data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could disrupt agent workflows or coordination logic, hence medium severity.

The rule that runs gt_beads_dep 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 gt_beads_dep, this is the rule to start with:
gt_beads_dep 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 gt_beads_dep call is checked against it from then on.
