THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why omniwire_sync needs a policy

This tool writes configuration data (rules, hooks, memory, agent configs, settings) across all mesh nodes in a distributed infrastructure. It is a Write operation with high severity because it propagates changes to multiple nodes simultaneously — a misconfiguration or malicious sync could alter AI agent behavior across the entire mesh.

From the tool's definition Bi-directional sync of rules, hooks, memory, agent configs, and settings across all mesh nodes. Syncs Claude Code, OpenClaw, and all AI tool configs.

POLICY

How to control omniwire_sync

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_sync:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "omniwire_sync": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "omniwire_sync_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

omniwire_sync 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.

Create a free account and register OmniWire — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about omniwire_sync

What does the omniwire_sync tool do? +

Bi-directional sync of rules, hooks, memory, agent configs, and settings across all mesh nodes. Syncs Claude Code, OpenClaw, and all AI tool configs. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OmniWire MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on omniwire_sync? +

Register the OmniWire MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for omniwire_sync: 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_sync? +

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

Can I rate-limit omniwire_sync? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_sync 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_sync completely? +

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

omniwire_sync 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.
