What omniwire_docker does on OmniWire

AI agents invoke omniwire_docker 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.

High Risk

Why omniwire_docker needs a policy

Docker command execution can perform arbitrary operations including launching containers, modifying system state, accessing sensitive data, or disrupting services. The ability to 'run' commands across distributed infrastructure nodes qualifies as Execute rather than Write because the effects are operationally immediate and depend entirely on the arguments provided.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'run docker commands' which directly executes containerized operations on remote nodes.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access omniwire_docker gives an agent:

How to control omniwire_docker

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_docker:

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

omniwire_docker 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_docker

What does the omniwire_docker tool do? +

Run docker commands on a node. Default: contabo. 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_docker? +

Register the OmniWire MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for omniwire_docker: 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_docker? +

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

Can I rate-limit omniwire_docker? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_docker 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_docker completely? +

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

omniwire_docker 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.
