AI agents invoke feature_request to trigger processes or run actions in Occam. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
feature_request can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access feature_request gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Request a feature that Occam doesn't support yet. Use this when you need a capability that Occam doesn't currently offer. Requests are logged and used to prioritize development. Rate limit: 5 requests/hour per IP, 50/hour global — stricter than the compute tools' 10/hour to prevent log flooding. Descriptions longer than 500 characters are truncated.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Occam MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Occam MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for feature_request: 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 Occam. Nothing to install.
feature_request 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 feature_request 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 feature_request. 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.
feature_request is provided by the Occam MCP server (https://occam.fit/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
