build_clusters

Group records into clusters given a file and matchkey definition.

Part of the GoldenMatch server.

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

AI agents invoke build_clusters to trigger processes or run actions in GoldenMatch. 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_clusters 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_clusters 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_clusters only ever does what you allow.

Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.

What does the build_clusters tool do? +

Group records into clusters given a file and matchkey definition.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the GoldenMatch 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_clusters? +

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

What risk level is build_clusters? +

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

Can I rate-limit build_clusters? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_clusters 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_clusters completely? +

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

build_clusters is provided by the GoldenMatch MCP server (goldenmatch). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every GoldenMatch tool call.
