What activate_sequence does on Adrata
AI agents use activate_sequence to create or update resources in Adrata, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Adrata environment.
Why activate_sequence is rated Medium
An AI agent can call activate_sequence faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Adrata by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs activate_sequence safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Adrata, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For activate_sequence, this is the rule to start with:
activate_sequence 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adrata, apply this rule, and every activate_sequence call is checked against it from then on.
