What omniwire_deploy does on OmniWire

AI agents use omniwire_deploy to create or update resources in OmniWire — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OmniWire environment.

Why omniwire_deploy needs a policy

This tool transfers/copies files across multiple infrastructure nodes, which is a write operation (creating or modifying files on destination systems). The blast radius is high because a misconfigured or malicious deployment could overwrite critical files across many nodes simultaneously in a distributed infrastructure.

How to control omniwire_deploy

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_deploy:

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

omniwire_deploy 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 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.
