WHAT IT DOES

What automation_resume does on Max MCP Server

AI agents invoke automation_resume to trigger actions in Max MCP Server. 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs automation_resume safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Max MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For automation_resume, this is the rule to start with:

automation_resume Rate-limited

automation_resume 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.
