AI agents use mark_by_text 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_text 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_text only ever does what you allow.

What does the mark_by_text tool do? +

Lookup all attestations for a mark text. Reveals first_user (priority winner) and conflict list.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hive Mark MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on mark_by_text? +

Register the Hive Mark MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mark_by_text: 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_text? +

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

Can I rate-limit mark_by_text? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mark_by_text 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_text completely? +

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

mark_by_text 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.
