Why kg_link_session needs a policy

The tool creates new relationship/edge data between existing nodes in the knowledge graph. This is a reversible write operation (links can be removed). It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Blast radius is low since it only adds organizational metadata linking nodes.

How to control kg_link_session

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

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

kg_link_session 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 Personal Kg — 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.
