RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_course_completion_criteria safely

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

set_course_completion_criteria Rate-limited

set_course_completion_criteria 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.

FAQ

Questions about set_course_completion_criteria

What does the set_course_completion_criteria tool do? +

Set a course's completion criteria: a criterion given replaces that kind's settings, one in remove goes, one not given stays; overall says whether all criteria or any one complete the course. Activities need completion tracking, roles the right to mark completion (get_course_completion_criteria's offered lists both). Once someone has met a criterion Moodle locks them: unlock deletes every participant's course completion data first (not their activity completion). Returns the criteria. Confirm with the person first, and twice with unlock. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Moodle MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does set_course_completion_criteria accept? +

set_course_completion_criteria accepts 12 parameters: date, self, grade, roles, remove, unlock, courses, overall, courseId, activities, unenrolment, enrolmentDays. Required: courseId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on set_course_completion_criteria? +

Register the Moodle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_course_completion_criteria: 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 Moodle. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_course_completion_criteria? +

set_course_completion_criteria is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_course_completion_criteria? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_course_completion_criteria 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.

How do I block set_course_completion_criteria completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_course_completion_criteria. 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.

What MCP server provides set_course_completion_criteria? +
