Create vague, unhelpful feedback for employee performance reviews

How to control generate_performance_review ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates and modifies performance review content, which is a reversible write operation on HR records. While the quality is intentionally poor (satirical), the action is creating/generating new documents rather than executing code or causing irreversible damage. The context of a satirical corporate dystopia server confirms this is meant to simulate realistic HR document generation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate_performance_review' and description 'Create vague, unhelpful feedback for employee performance reviews' indicate creation of new data (performance review documents).

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

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

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

generate_performance_review 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.

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