What resume does on Gateway
AI agents call resume to retrieve information from Gateway without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why resume is rated Low
This tool retrieves and aggregates existing data (identity, notes, inbox, watches, errands, artifacts) without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a cold-start recovery/read operation. Severity is medium because it exposes a broad surface of potentially sensitive agent state (full identity, inbox, notes, all hosted artifacts) in one call — misuse could leak everything about an agent instance.

The rule that runs resume 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 resume, this is the rule to start with:
resume is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 resume call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resume: 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.
resume is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resume 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for resume. 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.
resume is provided by the Gateway MCP server (https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
