run_computation can trigger actions in Claidex MCP, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke run_computation to trigger processes or run actions in Claidex MCP. 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.

run_computation 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 run_computation only ever does what you allow.

What does the run_computation tool do? +

Evaluate deterministic mathematical expressions with optional variables. Use for algebra, matrices, vectors, transformations, descriptive numerical checks, and reproducible calculations. Does not execute arbitrary JavaScript or install packages.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Claidex MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on run_computation? +

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

What risk level is run_computation? +

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

Can I rate-limit run_computation? +

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

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

run_computation is provided by the Claidex MCP server (@claidex-mcp/claidex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Claidex MCP tool call.
