WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_focus does on Gateway

AI agents use resolve_focus to create or update resources in Gateway, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Gateway environment.

Parameter	Type	Required
`handle`	string	Yes
`secret`	string	—
`focus_id`	integer	Yes

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why resolve_focus is rated Medium

This tool modifies the state of a user's data (closes/dismisses a thread) but does not irreversibly delete underlying data or execute arbitrary operations. The closure is conceptually reversible (the thread record persists, only visibility is toggled). It represents a Write action with low severity due to its limited scope and lack of destructive side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Close one of your open threads' — a modification action. Requires credentials (handle + secret) but performs a state change: removing a thread from the /resume view.

Risk signalsHandles credentials or secrets (secret)

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs resolve_focus safely

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

resolve_focus Rate-limited

resolve_focus stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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