WHAT IT DOES

What hive-mind_leave does on Ruflo

AI agents use hive-mind_leave 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 IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why hive-mind_leave needs a policy

The tool removes an agent from a hive-mind collective, which is a reversible modification to the swarm's membership state (the agent can presumably be re-added). It is not irreversible data destruction, code execution, or financial in nature.

From the tool's definition Remove an agent from the hive-mind

Verdict

hive-mind_leave Rate-limited

hive-mind_leave 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.

Questions about hive-mind_leave

What does the hive-mind_leave tool do? +

Remove an agent from the hive-mind Use when native Task is wrong because you need queen-led collective intelligence — Byzantine-FT consensus, broadcast across many worker agents, shared memory with bounded conflict. For a single subagent, native Task is fine. Pair with swarm_init first to set topology. 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.
