RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sloan_handoff safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Starfield, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sloan_handoff, this is the rule to start with:

sloan_handoff Rate-limited

sloan_handoff 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.

FAQ

Questions about sloan_handoff

What does the sloan_handoff tool do? +

Hand a prospect to Sloan (the AI executive assistant): creates a follow-up objective so Sloan pursues the meeting goal in the seller's autonomy mode (DraftOnly by default — every email waits for approval). GOVERNED WRITE: pass approved=true with a reason (and ideally an idempotencyKey); without approval the dispatcher returns the confirmation contract instead of writing. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Starfield MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does sloan_handoff accept? +

sloan_handoff accepts 9 parameters: name, email, reason, approved, personId, timezone, meetingGoal, autonomyMode, idempotencyKey. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on sloan_handoff? +

Register the Starfield MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sloan_handoff: 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 Starfield. Nothing to install.

What risk level is sloan_handoff? +

sloan_handoff is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit sloan_handoff? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sloan_handoff 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.

How do I block sloan_handoff completely? +
