What omniwire_container does on OmniWire

AI agents invoke omniwire_container 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.

Why omniwire_container needs a policy

While some actions like 'logs', 'ps', 'stats', and 'inspect' are read-only queries, the tool's primary capability is lifecycle management of Docker containers. Compose-up/down and build operations execute external commands whose effects are substantial and depend on the container configurations and arguments supplied. This is clearly Execute rather than Read.

From the tool's definition 'Full Docker container lifecycle management' with actions including 'compose-up', 'compose-down', 'build', 'push', and 'prune' — these are operations that execute container orchestration commands with external effects that depend on arguments.

How to control omniwire_container

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_container:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "omniwire_container": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "omniwire_container_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

omniwire_container 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.

  1. Create a free account and register OmniWire — 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.

Questions about omniwire_container

What does the omniwire_container tool do? +

Full Docker container lifecycle management. Actions: compose-up, compose-down, build, push, logs, ps, prune, stats, inspect. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on omniwire_container? +

Register the OmniWire MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for omniwire_container: 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.

What risk level is omniwire_container? +

omniwire_container is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit omniwire_container? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_container 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 omniwire_container completely? +

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

omniwire_container 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.

Enforce policy on every OmniWire tool call.

Start from OmniWire, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
