AI agents invoke burnrate_track to trigger processes or run actions in Plith. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

burnrate_track can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so burnrate_track only ever does what you allow.

What does the burnrate_track tool do? +

Log the actual cost of an LLM call after execution. Call this after every LLM request to build calibration data that improves burnrate_estimate accuracy over time. Free — no credits charged. Returns the recorded cost entry with computed margin versus the prior estimate when one exists for this model and token range.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Plith MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on burnrate_track? +

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

What risk level is burnrate_track? +

burnrate_track is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit burnrate_track? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the burnrate_track 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 burnrate_track completely? +

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

What MCP server provides burnrate_track? +

burnrate_track is provided by the Plith MCP server (https://plith.ai/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Plith tool call.
