AI agents use agentra_set_mandate to create or modify resources in Agentra. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call agentra_set_mandate repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Agentra.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Create or update spending mandates that define your agent's autonomous transaction boundaries. Mandates enforce: max per-transaction amount, daily spending cap, allowed recipient types, minimum counterparty reputation score, and expiration. Your human operator sets these; your agent operates within them. require_counterparty_kya defaults to true. Recommended: true. This recruits counterparties into verification.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agentra MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Agentra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agentra_set_mandate: 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 Agentra. Nothing to install.
agentra_set_mandate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agentra_set_mandate 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 agentra_set_mandate. 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.
agentra_set_mandate is provided by the Agentra MCP server (https://api.agentrapay.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
