convoawait can trigger actions in InsideOut (Riley), with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke convoawait to trigger processes or run actions in InsideOut (Riley). 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.

convoawait 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access convoawait gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the convoawait tool do? +

Wait for a pending response from Riley after a convoreply timeout. ๐ŸŽฏ USE THIS TOOL WHEN: convoreply returned a timeout error. This allows you to continue waiting for the response without resending the message. REQUIRES: - session_id: from convoopen response OPTIONAL: - message_id: if known (from convoreply timeout error) - timeout (integer): seconds to wait. For Cursor, use 50 (default). Max 55. Returns the same format as convoreply when successful.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the InsideOut (Riley) MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on convoawait? +

Register the InsideOut (Riley) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for convoawait: 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 InsideOut (Riley). Nothing to install.

What risk level is convoawait? +

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

Can I rate-limit convoawait? +

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

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

convoawait is provided by the InsideOut (Riley) MCP server (oci:docker.io/luthersystems/insideout-mcp:v0.36.3). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every InsideOut (Riley) tool call.
