Link skill to code artifact (establishes reference relationship). WHAT: Creates an association between a skill and a code artifact via the skill_code_artifact_association table. WHEN: When a code artifact contains example code, snippets, or templates that support a skill's instructions. BEHAVIOR:...
AI agents use link_skill_to_code_artifact to create or update resources in Forgetful — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Forgetful environment.
This tool creates new data (an association record) in a reversible manner. It does not delete, destroy, or execute code—it merely establishes metadata linking between existing entities. The tool requires both entities to already exist and be owned by the user, constraining its blast radius.
From the tool's definition Creates an association between a skill and a code artifact via the skill_code_artifact_association table. The tool establishes a reference relationship that modifies data by adding a new record to track the link between two entities.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access link_skill_to_code_artifact gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Forgetful, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for link_skill_to_code_artifact:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"link_skill_to_code_artifact": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "link_skill_to_code_artifact_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}link_skill_to_code_artifact 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.

Link skill to code artifact (establishes reference relationship). WHAT: Creates an association between a skill and a code artifact via the skill_code_artifact_association table. WHEN: When a code artifact contains example code, snippets, or templates that support a skill's instructions. BEHAVIOR: Creates association between skill and code artifact. Both skill and code artifact must exist and be owned by the user. Args: skill_id: Skill ID to link code_artifact_id: Code artifact ID to link ctx: Context (automatically injected) Returns: Confirmation dict with success status Raises: ToolError: If skill or code artifact not found or not owned by user. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Forgetful MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Forgetful MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for link_skill_to_code_artifact: 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 Forgetful. Nothing to install.
link_skill_to_code_artifact is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the link_skill_to_code_artifact 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for link_skill_to_code_artifact. 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.
link_skill_to_code_artifact is provided by the Forgetful MCP server (scottrbk/forgetful). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
