What generate_incident_rca does on Witness Protocol
AI agents call generate_incident_rca to retrieve information from Witness Protocol without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
focus | string | — | Optional RCA lens such as continuity, latency, overload, or routing |
session_id | string | — | The session ID to analyze |
incident_summary | string | — | Optional incident summary if you want to override the recent failure context |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why generate_incident_rca is rated Low

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

Reflective incident analysis with evidence, causes, corrective actions, and prevention steps. Free. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Witness Protocol MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
generate_incident_rca accepts 3 parameters: focus, session_id, incident_summary. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Witness Protocol MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_incident_rca: 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 Witness Protocol. Nothing to install.
generate_incident_rca 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 generate_incident_rca 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 generate_incident_rca. 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.
generate_incident_rca is provided by the Witness Protocol MCP server (delx/witness-protocol). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
