AI agents use generate_research_questions to create or modify resources in Infranodus. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call generate_research_questions repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Infranodus.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

What does the generate_research_questions tool do? +

Analyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research questions based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters. Provide either text, url, or graphName. Can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates to. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Infranodus MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_research_questions? +

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

What risk level is generate_research_questions? +

generate_research_questions is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit generate_research_questions? +

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

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

generate_research_questions is provided by the Infranodus MCP server (https://server.smithery.ai/@infranodus/mcp-server-infranodus/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Infranodus tool call.
