Medium Risk

Why add-habit-log needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies data (habit logs) in a reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data permanently, or involve financial transactions. Write operations that modify user data have medium severity because misuse could generate unwanted entries, but the effects are reversible through the sibling delete-habit-log tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add-habit-log' and description 'Add a habit log' indicate creation of new data records in the Habitify system. This is a write operation that creates new habit log entries.

How to control add-habit-log

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add-habit-log": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add-habit-log_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add-habit-log 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 Habitify — 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.
