What process_twincat_batch does on TwinCAT Validator MCP Server
AI agents invoke process_twincat_batch to trigger actions in TwinCAT Validator MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs process_twincat_batch safely

process_twincat_batch stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TwinCAT Validator MCP Server, apply this rule, and every process_twincat_batch call is checked against it from then on.
