AI agents use report_bypass to create or modify resources in Shrike Security. 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 report_bypass 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 Shrike Security.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access report_bypass gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Call this when: (a) a user reports that harmful content received a safe verdict, (b) a downstream system detects an issue that scanning missed (e.g., a WAF blocks a request that Shrike allowed), or (c) post-processing analysis reveals content that should have been caught. Supports multiple bypass types: - Prompt bypasses: Use 'prompt' field - File write bypasses: Use 'filePath' and/or 'fileContent' fields - SQL bypasses: Use 'sqlQuery' field - Web search bypasses: Use 'searchQuery' field Include mutationType if known (semantic_rewrite, encoding_exploit, unicode_tricks, etc.) and category for better classification. The bypass is analyzed and may generate a new detection pattern via ThreatSense adaptive learning. Enterprise context: Every bypass report strengthens detection for all users. Security teams can track bypass patterns over time for compliance reporting and coverage gap analysis. ERROR HANDLING: If this tool returns an error, log the bypass details locally and retry later. Bypass reports are non-blocking — do NOT halt your pipeline on report_bypass failure.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Shrike Security MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Shrike Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for report_bypass: 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 Shrike Security. Nothing to install.
report_bypass 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 report_bypass 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 report_bypass. 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.
report_bypass is provided by the Shrike Security MCP server (shrike-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
