What resume_process does on Intellirecon Console
AI agents invoke resume_process to trigger actions in Intellirecon Console. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why resume_process is rated High
Resuming a paused process constitutes an Execute-class action: it causes a process to run again, potentially triggering security scans, recon workflows, or payload tests already queued. Given the server context (AI recon console with attack suite and payload generation tools), a resumed process could have significant blast radius.
From the tool's definition Resume a paused process — triggers execution of a previously paused process

The rule that runs resume_process safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Intellirecon Console, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For resume_process, this is the rule to start with:
resume_process stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Intellirecon Console, apply this rule, and every resume_process call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about resume_process
Resume a paused process. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Intellirecon Console MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Intellirecon Console MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resume_process: 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 Intellirecon Console. Nothing to install.
resume_process is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resume_process 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for resume_process. 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.
resume_process is provided by the Intellirecon Console MCP server (dokotela021/intellirecon-console). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
