What manage_licenses does on agentView
AI agents use manage_licenses to create or update resources in agentView, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your agentView environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
action | string | Yes | License operation. |
org_id | string | — | Organization ID (action 'allocate'). |
licenses | integer | — | License slot count for 'allocate'; 0 deallocates all. |
display_id | string | — | Display profile ID (actions 'assign' and 'unassign'). |
access_token | string | — | Optional bearer token; prefer session_request_id. |
session_request_id | string | — | Session handle from create_auth_session; pass it on every authenticated call. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why manage_licenses is rated Medium

The rule that runs manage_licenses safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and agentView, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For manage_licenses, this is the rule to start with:
manage_licenses 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 agentView, apply this rule, and every manage_licenses call is checked against it from then on.
