Run multiple commands in a single tool call. Supports chaining (sequential with {{prev}} interpolation), abort-on-fail, store_as, and JSON output. Use this to reduce agentic round-trips.
AI agents invoke omniwire_batch to trigger actions in OmniWire. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool allows execution of arbitrary shell commands across distributed infrastructure via MCP. While the name alone might seem innocuous, the description clarifies it executes commands with chaining capabilities. The execution context (distributed mesh control layer with SSH2 connections and Docker container management) amplifies the blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool enables running "multiple commands in a single tool call" with support for "chaining" and sequential execution. The description explicitly states it runs commands, which constitutes code/command execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access omniwire_batch gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OmniWire, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for omniwire_batch:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"omniwire_batch": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "omniwire_batch_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}omniwire_batch stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Run multiple commands in a single tool call. Supports chaining (sequential with {{prev}} interpolation), abort-on-fail, store_as, and JSON output. Use this to reduce agentic round-trips. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the OmniWire MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the OmniWire MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for omniwire_batch: 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 OmniWire. Nothing to install.
omniwire_batch is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_batch 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for omniwire_batch. 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.
omniwire_batch is provided by the OmniWire MCP server (voidchecksum/omniwire). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from OmniWire, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
