build_schema

Build a complete schema (properties + types) in one call. Creates all properties first, then creates types that reference those properties by name.

Part of the Geo server.

build_schema can trigger actions in Geo, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke build_schema to trigger processes or run actions in Geo. 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.

build_schema 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 build_schema gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so build_schema only ever does what you allow.

What does the build_schema tool do? +

Build a complete schema (properties + types) in one call. Creates all properties first, then creates types that reference those properties by name.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Geo MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on build_schema? +

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

What risk level is build_schema? +

build_schema is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit build_schema? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_schema 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 build_schema completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for build_schema. 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 build_schema? +

build_schema is provided by the Geo MCP server (geo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Geo tool call.
