Create OPA governance policies for Harness via MCP. Define policies that enforce compliance rules on pipelines, services, environments, feature flags, artifacts, code repositories, templates, SBOM, security tests, Terraform, GitOps, connectors, secrets, and more.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create Policy Create OPA governance policies for Harness Software Supply Chain Assurance (SCS) via MCP. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Identify Policy Requirements Determine what the policy should enforce: - What entity type is the policy targeting? (pipeline, service, environment, feature flag, etc.) - What is the enforcement action (warn, deny)? - What scope should the policy apply to? - What action triggers the policy? (onrun, onsave, onstep, etc.) **For writing Rego policies**, consult `references/rego-writing-guide.md` for the complete Rego writing rules, entity types, package names, and common patterns. For entity-specific schemas and examples, see the entity reference files listed in that guide. ### Step 2: Create the Policy ``` Call MCP tool: harness_create Parameters: resource_type: "policy" org_id: "<organization>" project_id: "<project>" body: <policy definition> ``` OPA policies are managed under the `governance` toolset — `resource_type: "policy"` supports full CRUD (list, get, create, update, delete). ### Step 3: Verify Compliance Results After a policy is created, check compliance status on artifacts or repositories: ``` Call MCP tool: harness_list …

How to install
mdr add harness/harness-skills/create-policy@sha256:69be7fdeaef6eacbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
