refine_config

Refine the generated validation config using natural language instructions. Example instructions: 'Add a column for LinkedIn URL. Remove the revenue column. Make email validation stricter.'

Part of the Hyperplexity server.

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

AI agents may call refine_config to permanently remove or destroy resources in Hyperplexity. 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 refine_config in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Hyperplexity. 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 refine_config only ever does what you allow.

What does the refine_config tool do? +

Refine the generated validation config using natural language instructions. Example instructions: 'Add a column for LinkedIn URL. Remove the revenue column. Make email validation stricter.'. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Hyperplexity 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 refine_config? +

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

What risk level is refine_config? +

refine_config 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 refine_config? +

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

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

refine_config is provided by the Hyperplexity MCP server (hyperplexity/hyperplexity). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Hyperplexity tool call.
