What login does on Bluesky

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

Medium Risk

Why login needs a policy

Login establishes an authenticated session, which is a prerequisite for all subsequent actions (posting, deleting, liking, etc.) on behalf of the user. While it doesn't directly read or write content, it initiates a stateful session that enables high-impact operations.

How to control login

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

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

login 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 Bluesky — 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.

Questions about login

What does the login tool do? +

Login to Bluesky using credentials from .env file or provided parameters. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Bluesky MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on login? +

Register the Bluesky MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for login: 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 Bluesky. Nothing to install.

What risk level is login? +

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

Can I rate-limit login? +

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

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

login is provided by the Bluesky MCP server (semioz/bluesky-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Bluesky tool call.

Start from Bluesky, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
