AI agents use add-template to create or modify resources in Tenant Builder. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call add-template repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Tenant Builder.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add-template gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so add-template only ever does what you allow.

What does the add-template tool do? +

Add a new template with sections to an existing tenant via the seed-template endpoint. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Tenant Builder MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on add-template? +

Register the Tenant Builder MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add-template: 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 Tenant Builder. Nothing to install.

What risk level is add-template? +

add-template is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit add-template? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add-template 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 add-template completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add-template. 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 add-template? +

add-template is provided by the Tenant Builder MCP server (santiago.blanco.vilchez/aaa). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Tenant Builder tool call.
