Why apply_experience_template needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies AR experience configurations and components through template application. While it affects project state, the changes are reversible (templates can be reapplied or overwritten). It does not execute arbitrary code as Execute would, does not delete data as Destructive would, and does not involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition apply_experience_template automatically sets up components, code, and configurations—this modifies AR experience state and configuration in a reversible manner typical of Write operations.

How to control apply_experience_template

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and 8th Wall MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for apply_experience_template:

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

apply_experience_template 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.
