pause_stream

Pause an active stream. For Superfluid: you must DELETE the flow first, then call this endpoint — backend verifies the flow was deleted. For micro-transfer: skips the current pending tick.

Part of the Humanpages server.

pause_stream can permanently delete data in Humanpages, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents may call pause_stream to permanently remove or destroy resources in Humanpages. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call pause_stream in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Humanpages. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

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

It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Humanpages MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on pause_stream? +

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

What risk level is pause_stream? +

pause_stream is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit pause_stream? +

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

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

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

Enforce policy on every Humanpages tool call.
