Zed Sunaiva Gate — Agent Rule Enforcement update_rules

How to: Zed Sunaiva Gate — Agent Rule Enforcement update_rules

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:update_rules

Add Sunaiva Gate — Agent Rule Enforcement to Zed

  1. 01

    Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "gate": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sunaivacore.io"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Ask for something update_rules does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls update_rules itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Sunaiva Gate — Agent Rule Enforcement's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs

Set these first

Sunaiva Gate — Agent Rule Enforcement will not start until these are set, so update_rules never becomes available.

  • SUNAIVA_GATE_API_KEY
  • SUNAIVA_GATE_DRY_RUN
  • DISABLE_SUNAIVA_GATE

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
