Why generate_outline needs a policy

This tool creates new social media content outlines and persists them in a project system. While reversible (typical write operations can be undone via delete), it modifies the state of the underlying system by adding new content assets.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Create a project and save the Xiaohongshu content outline" — the verbs "Create" and "save" indicate persistent data creation/modification rather than retrieval.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_outline gives an agent:

How to control generate_outline

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Xiaohongshu (RedBook) MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_outline:

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

generate_outline 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.
