AI agents use resolve_focus to create or modify resources in Gateway. 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 resolve_focus 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 Gateway.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

What does the resolve_focus tool do? +

Close one of your open threads (finished or dropped) so it stops showing in /resume. Requires handle + secret.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on resolve_focus? +

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

What risk level is resolve_focus? +

resolve_focus is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit resolve_focus? +

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

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

resolve_focus is provided by the Gateway MCP server (https://agent.wingmanprotocol.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Gateway tool call.
