Why fleet_secrets_drift needs a policy

The tool detects/compares state between two locations without modifying anything. It is a read/audit operation that reports differences between the encrypted vault and the runtime secrets directory. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.

From the tool's definition 'Detect drift between vault (encrypted, survives reboot) and runtime (/run/fleet-secrets/, lost on reboot)'

POLICY

How to control fleet_secrets_drift

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fleet, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fleet_secrets_drift:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fleet_secrets_drift": {}
  }
}

fleet_secrets_drift is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

How do I enforce a policy on fleet_secrets_drift? +

Register the Fleet MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fleet_secrets_drift: 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 Fleet. Nothing to install.

What risk level is fleet_secrets_drift? +

How do I block fleet_secrets_drift completely? +

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

fleet_secrets_drift is provided by the Fleet MCP server (wrxck/fleet). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Fleet tool call.

Start from Fleet, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
