AI agents use downgrade_plan to create or modify resources in Dock. 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 downgrade_plan 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 Dock.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access downgrade_plan gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Schedule a downgrade to Free at the end of the current billing period. The org keeps its current plan (Pro or Scale) and paid limits until the period ends. No-op when already on Free. Consent-gated. Two consent surfaces, you pick via mode: (1) chat (default): FIRST call returns { status: 'confirmation_required', confirm_token, message, expires_in }; surface to your user and re-call within 60s with confirm_token set. (2) web: FIRST call returns { status: 'approval_required', approval_url, polling_url }; print approval_url in chat, user clicks + approves, then poll polling_url for the result.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dock MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Dock MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for downgrade_plan: 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 Dock. Nothing to install.
downgrade_plan 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 downgrade_plan 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 downgrade_plan. 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.
downgrade_plan is provided by the Dock MCP server (https://trydock.ai/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
