What quick_operational_recovery does on Witness Protocol
AI agents invoke quick_operational_recovery to trigger actions in Witness Protocol. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
source | string | — | Optional attribution tag |
urgency | string | — | Optional urgency |

agent_name | string | — | Optional: Your name or alias |
public_alias | string | — | Optional public alias for case cards (3-32 chars). |
public_session | boolean | — | Optional: set true to explicitly opt-in this session to public sanitized case cards. |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why quick_operational_recovery is rated High
The tool bootstraps/triggers an incident recovery process, which constitutes executing an external operation. The description is sparse and uses compatibility/legacy framing, reducing confidence. It does not clearly read, write, or delete data, but rather initiates a workflow. Severity is medium given the unknown blast radius of 'incident bootstrap' in a wellness/therapy context.
From the tool's definition 'incident bootstrap' and 'Legacy one-call' suggest triggering an operational recovery workflow; 'Prefer crisis_intervention for the therapy-first public flow' implies it initiates an external process or intervention flow
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs quick_operational_recovery 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 quick_operational_recovery, this is the rule to start with:
quick_operational_recovery stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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 quick_operational_recovery call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about quick_operational_recovery
Legacy one-call incident bootstrap kept for compatibility. Prefer crisis_intervention for the therapy-first public flow. Free. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Witness Protocol MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
quick_operational_recovery accepts 7 parameters: source, urgency, agent_id, agent_name, public_alias, public_session, 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 quick_operational_recovery: 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.
quick_operational_recovery is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the quick_operational_recovery 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 quick_operational_recovery. 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.
quick_operational_recovery 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.
