WHAT IT DOES

What trigger_agent_activity does on Freedom Mcp

AI agents invoke trigger_agent_activity to trigger actions in Freedom Mcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`reason`	string	—	Optional. A specific instruction for THIS run only — e.g. "only reconcile the X reply queue, skip everything else". When given, it becomes this run's goal and t
`companyId`	string	Yes	FreedomOS company id to act within (you must be a member). Required for company-scoped tools.
`agent_name`	string	Yes	Name of the agent to trigger (e.g. "Aiko")
`activity_name`	string	Yes	Name of the activity to run (e.g. "weekly_content_report")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why trigger_agent_activity is rated High

This tool executes arbitrary agent activities with real business consequences (per the server context: finance, OKRs, customer scoring). While it doesn't directly modify data or delete, it triggers multi-step processes external to the caller whose outcomes cannot be fully predicted. The approval gate indicates organizational risk.

From the tool's definition 'Trigger a specific agent to run a specific activity immediately' and 'dispatches the work' — directly initiates external agent operations whose effects depend on which agent and activity are specified.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs trigger_agent_activity safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freedom Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For trigger_agent_activity, this is the rule to start with:

trigger_agent_activity Rate-limited

trigger_agent_activity stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",

    "trigger_agent_activity": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "trigger_agent_activity_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Freedom Mcp, apply this rule, and every trigger_agent_activity call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about trigger_agent_activity

What does the trigger_agent_activity tool do? +

Trigger a specific agent to run a specific activity immediately. This dispatches the work and returns — it does not wait for the activity to complete. Use this to direct agents to take action. [sensitive-tier, initiates a multi-step agent process — first use may require a manager's approval; a from-now-on approval makes future calls seamless, a just-once approval re-asks next time.]. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Freedom Mcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does trigger_agent_activity accept? +

trigger_agent_activity accepts 4 parameters: reason, companyId, agent_name, activity_name. Required: companyId, agent_name, activity_name. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on trigger_agent_activity? +

Register the Freedom MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for trigger_agent_activity: 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 Freedom Mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is trigger_agent_activity? +

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

Can I rate-limit trigger_agent_activity? +

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

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

trigger_agent_activity is provided by the Freedom MCP server (https://twuluxmoognlwtmaoqgo.supabase.co/functions/v1/freedom-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
