WHAT IT DOES

What teammate_spawn_team does on Ruflo

AI agents use teammate_spawn_team 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.

RISK

Why teammate_spawn_team is rated Medium

This tool creates a new team entity (a Write operation). However, severity is high because spawning multi-agent teams in a swarm orchestration system can trigger cascading autonomous workflows, resource consumption, and difficult-to-reverse coordination side effects — even if the immediate action is a reversible resource creation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs teammate_spawn_team 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 teammate_spawn_team, this is the rule to start with:

teammate_spawn_team Rate-limited

teammate_spawn_team 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.
