learn_thresholds

Force a MemoryLearner pass over accumulated corrections. Returns the list of LearnedAdjustments produced (matchkey_name, threshold, sample_size, learned_at). Requires >= 10 corrections per matchkey before threshold tuning fires; otherwise returns an empty list.

Part of the GoldenMatch server.

learn_thresholds is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call learn_thresholds to retrieve information from GoldenMatch without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though learn_thresholds only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the learn_thresholds tool do? +

Force a MemoryLearner pass over accumulated corrections. Returns the list of LearnedAdjustments produced (matchkey_name, threshold, sample_size, learned_at). Requires >= 10 corrections per matchkey before threshold tuning fires; otherwise returns an empty list.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GoldenMatch MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on learn_thresholds? +

Register the GoldenMatch MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for learn_thresholds: 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 learn_thresholds? +

learn_thresholds is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit learn_thresholds? +

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

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

learn_thresholds 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.
