What bindings does on Zion

AI agents use bindings to create or update resources in Zion — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Zion environment.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
op string Yes
args object
appExId string | null
projectExId string
appVersionExId string | null

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why bindings needs a policy

The tool creates and modifies data bindings, formulas, and conditional logic through structured arguments. This is a write operation that reversibly creates or modifies configuration data.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Create and edit data bindings" and mentions "boolean condition expressions, and request filters". The terms "create and edit" directly indicate write operations that modify data bindings.

Questions about bindings

What does the bindings tool do? +

Create and edit data bindings — option/const/formula/conditional bindings, boolean condition expressions, and request filters (where + sort), all addressed by schemaPath. op is a schema ToolName; args is its payload. Call guide {plugin:"bindings"} for the rules and arg shapes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Zion MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does bindings accept? +

bindings accepts 5 parameters: op, args, appExId, projectExId, appVersionExId. Required: op. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on bindings? +

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

What risk level is bindings? +

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

Can I rate-limit bindings? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the bindings 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 bindings completely? +

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

bindings is provided by the Zion MCP server (zion-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
