AI agents use resolve_error to create or modify resources in Depscope. 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_error 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 Depscope.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access resolve_error 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 resolve_error only ever does what you allow.

What does the resolve_error tool do? +

Map error OR free-text query to a verified fix. USE WHEN: user pastes a concrete error/stack (ENOENT, ImportError, build failure) — pass error. OR user describes a symptom ('webpack slow', 'pip stuck') — pass query. Always prefer this over guessing a fix. RETURNS: exact-match {status, solution, confidence, source_url} or search results [{title, summary, source_url}].. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Depscope 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_error? +

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

What risk level is resolve_error? +

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

Can I rate-limit resolve_error? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resolve_error 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_error completely? +

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

resolve_error is provided by the Depscope MCP server (cuttalosrl/depscope). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Depscope tool call.
