WHAT IT DOES

What add_sequence_step does on Adrata

AI agents use add_sequence_step 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.

RISK

Why add_sequence_step is rated Medium

An AI agent can call add_sequence_step 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_sequence_step 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 add_sequence_step, this is the rule to start with:

add_sequence_step Rate-limited

add_sequence_step 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.

How do I block add_sequence_step completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add_sequence_step. 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.
