What server_connect does on DutyDeck
AI agents use server_connect to create or update resources in DutyDeck, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DutyDeck environment.
Why server_connect is rated Medium
An AI agent can call server_connect faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in DutyDeck by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs server_connect safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DutyDeck, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For server_connect, this is the rule to start with:
server_connect 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 DutyDeck, apply this rule, and every server_connect call is checked against it from then on.

Register the DutyDeck MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for server_connect: 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 DutyDeck. Nothing to install.
server_connect 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 server_connect 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 server_connect. 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.
server_connect is provided by the DutyDeck MCP server (taokoplay/DutyDeck). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
