Severity is medium as misuse could pollute skill data, but it is unlikely to be catastrophic.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'skill_store_note' suggests storing/writing a note; description is empty and uninformative.

How to control skill_store_note

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

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

skill_store_note 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.
