What omniwire_secrets does on OmniWire

AI agents use omniwire_secrets 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_secrets needs a policy

This tool performs write operations on sensitive data (secrets management). While secrets are critical infrastructure, the tool itself creates/modifies secrets rather than deleting them irreversibly (Destructive) or moving money (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool explicitly manages secrets across distributed mesh nodes with support for multiple backends (1Password, file-based, env). The ability to manage secrets inherently involves creating, updating, and storing sensitive credential data across infrastructure.

How to control omniwire_secrets

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_secrets:

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

omniwire_secrets 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.

What risk level is omniwire_secrets? +

omniwire_secrets is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit omniwire_secrets? +
