An AI agent can call generate_workspace_intel faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Max MCP Server by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs generate_workspace_intel 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 generate_workspace_intel, this is the rule to start with:
generate_workspace_intel 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 Max MCP Server, apply this rule, and every generate_workspace_intel call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Max MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_workspace_intel: 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 Max MCP Server. Nothing to install.
generate_workspace_intel is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_workspace_intel 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_workspace_intel. 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_workspace_intel is provided by the Max MCP Server MCP server (digital-crew-technologies/max-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
