What omniwire_write_file does on OmniWire

AI agents use omniwire_write_file 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.

Medium Risk

Why omniwire_write_file needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies files on distributed infrastructure nodes, which is a reversible write operation. Severity is high because writing files across a mesh of distributed nodes could affect system configuration, application behavior, or data integrity depending on what files are written and where.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'write_file' and description states 'Write/create a file on any mesh node.' This directly indicates file creation/modification capability.

How to control omniwire_write_file

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_write_file:

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

omniwire_write_file 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_write_file? +

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

Can I rate-limit omniwire_write_file? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_write_file 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_write_file completely? +

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