What consensus_propose_supersession does on Codevira MCP

AI agents use consensus_propose_supersession to create or update resources in Codevira MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Codevira MCP environment.

Medium Risk

Why consensus_propose_supersession needs a policy

The tool opens/creates a supersession proposal, which is a Write operation (creating a new record/proposal in the system). Supersession implies replacing or overriding something, but the action here is proposing it — not executing the replacement. The description is sparse, lowering confidence.

How to control consensus_propose_supersession

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codevira MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for consensus_propose_supersession:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "consensus_propose_supersession": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "consensus_propose_supersession_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

consensus_propose_supersession 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Codevira MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
