What reorder_sequence_steps does on Adrata
AI agents call reorder_sequence_steps to retrieve information from Adrata without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why reorder_sequence_steps is rated Low
Even though reorder_sequence_steps only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

The rule that runs reorder_sequence_steps 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 reorder_sequence_steps, this is the rule to start with:
reorder_sequence_steps is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 reorder_sequence_steps call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about reorder_sequence_steps
Reorder every step in an unenrolled draft sequence. Preserves forward branch targets; rejects live/history-bearing sequences and loops. Preview first, then explicitly approve. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Adrata MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Adrata MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reorder_sequence_steps: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Adrata. Nothing to install.
reorder_sequence_steps is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reorder_sequence_steps rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reorder_sequence_steps. 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.
reorder_sequence_steps is provided by the Adrata MCP server (@adrata/adrata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
