RECOMMENDED RULE

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

x_federation_roster Allowed

x_federation_roster is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "tools": {
    "x_federation_roster": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ruflo, apply this rule, and every x_federation_roster call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about x_federation_roster

What does the x_federation_roster tool do? +

List nodes currently announcing themselves on the open swarm (recent PeerHello events) via the ruv://swarm/roster resource. Use when you need to know who is online across the federation before assigning work. Grepping sync output by hand is wrong because the roster resource already de-duplicates by pubkey and carries lastSeen. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on x_federation_roster? +

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

x_federation_roster is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit x_federation_roster? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the x_federation_roster 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 x_federation_roster completely? +

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

x_federation_roster 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.
