Part of the Plith server.

qualitygate_validate is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call qualitygate_validate to retrieve information from Plith without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though qualitygate_validate only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the qualitygate_validate tool do? +

After your agent generates output, validate it against your rules before shipping. Runs deterministic checks (regex, JSON schema, syntax) plus optional LLM-powered tone and factual analysis. Returns a structured verdict (pass, warn, or fail) with a 0-100 score and per-check issue details. Use qualitygate_trends to spot recurring failure patterns over time. Variable cost: 1 credit per deterministic check, 8 credits per LLM check.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Plith MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on qualitygate_validate? +

Register the Plith MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for qualitygate_validate: 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 qualitygate_validate? +

qualitygate_validate is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit qualitygate_validate? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for qualitygate_validate. 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 qualitygate_validate? +

qualitygate_validate 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.
