What wavexis_set_headers does on Wavexis
AI agents invoke wavexis_set_headers to trigger actions in Wavexis. 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.
Why wavexis_set_headers is rated High
This tool modifies the runtime behavior of the browser automation environment by injecting headers into all subsequent HTTP requests. This is an Execute-level action because it alters ongoing network operations and could be misused to inject authentication tokens, bypass security controls, manipulate CORS headers, or conduct session hijacking.
From the tool's definition "Set extra HTTP headers for all subsequent requests" — modifies the HTTP request pipeline affecting all future network calls
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wavexis_set_headers safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Wavexis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For wavexis_set_headers, this is the rule to start with:
wavexis_set_headers 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Wavexis, apply this rule, and every wavexis_set_headers call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about wavexis_set_headers
Set extra HTTP headers for all subsequent requests. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Wavexis MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Wavexis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wavexis_set_headers: 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 Wavexis. Nothing to install.
wavexis_set_headers is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wavexis_set_headers 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for wavexis_set_headers. 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.
wavexis_set_headers is provided by the Wavexis MCP server (MathiasPaulenko/wavexis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
