AI agents use mark_by_owner to create or modify resources in Hive Mark. 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 mark_by_owner 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 Hive Mark.

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

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

How do I enforce a policy on mark_by_owner? +

Register the Hive Mark MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mark_by_owner: 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 Hive Mark. Nothing to install.

What risk level is mark_by_owner? +

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

Can I rate-limit mark_by_owner? +

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

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

mark_by_owner is provided by the Hive Mark MCP server (srotzin-adqm/hive-mark). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Hive Mark tool call.
