# configure_wave_gate

[SUPPORT] 74a8f420 — PLANNING: configure (or on-the-fly reconfigure) a deterministic action pipeline attached to a wave or wave-range, ENFORCED STRUCTURALLY — not just advisory /goal prose. Once set, claim_sprint_item refuses (WAVE_GATE_PENDING) to claim any item whose wave sorts beyond wave_end until complete_wave_gate records real run_verification evidence for that boundary. actions is an ordered, non-empty list of {"type": ...} dicts — type must be one of push_dev | push_main | deploy | wait | run_verification (push_dev/push_main/deploy are run by the executor via trigger_workflow; run_verification maps onto the run_verification tool whose output complete_wave_gate requires as evidence; wait is a plain pause step; extra keys per action, e.g. {"type": "wait", "seconds": 30}, are preserved verbatim). wave_start (defaults to wave_end) documents a multi-wave range covered by one gate checkpoint. Re-configuring an un-passed wave_end is an upsert — the pipeline can be revised right up until an executor completes it; once passed the config is immutable (returns {"error": ...}). Returns {configured, gate_config_id, project_id, wave_start, wave_end, actions} on success. ed8e4524 — SCOPED TO SPRINT VERSION: pass version (or session_id to auto-resolve the calling session's scope) so two different sprint versions that happen to share the SAME wave_end label never reconfigure or immutably block each other's gate — omit both to keep the exact prior project-wide behavior for a single-version project. Persistent-state disclosure: on hosted Meridian, supplied text and project/session metadata are sent to and stored in Meridian's service; self-hosted deployments keep them in the configured local SQLite/Postgres database. This data is visible in the dashboard/API and later project context or handoffs. Delete individual tasks, notes, or decisions where supported, or delete the project/account using the documented controls. Do not include secrets.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `actor` | string | no | Optional session_id or actor name to record who configured the gate. |
| `actions` | array | yes | Non-empty ordered list of {"type": push_dev\|push_main\|deploy\|wait\|run_verification, ...params} action dicts — the deterministic pipeline that must run before th |
| `version` | string | no | ed8e4524 — Optional sprint-version bucket this gate belongs to (e.g. 'v0.2.6'). Wins over session_id's resolved scope. Omit (and omit session_id) for the legacy |
| `wave_end` | string | yes | The boundary wave, e.g. 'wave-3'. Any item in a later wave (same 'prefix-N' family) is structurally blocked from claim_sprint_item until this gate completes. |
| `project_id` | string | no |  |
| `session_id` | string | no | ed8e4524 — Optional: resolve the version scope from this session's own sprint_version (same helper handoff._resolve_session_sprint_version uses for checkpoint) |
| `wave_start` | string | no | Optional: first wave covered by this gate (documentation only, defaults to wave_end) — e.g. wave_start='wave-1' with wave_end='wave-3' covers waves 1-3 under on |
| `project_name` | string | no | Project name — an alternative to project_id; resolved to the id internally. project_id wins if both are given. |

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "configure_wave_gate",
    "arguments": {
      "actions": [],
      "wave_end": "<wave_end>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why configure_wave_gate is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies a gate configuration that structurally enforces sprint item claiming behavior. It writes a pipeline definition that controls what actions (push_dev, push_main, deploy, wait, run_verification) must occur before progress can continue.

From the tool's own definition: "configure (or on-the-fly reconfigure) a deterministic action pipeline attached to a wave or wave-range, ENFORCED STRUCTURALLY — not just advisory..."

## Use case

AI agents use configure_wave_gate to create or update resources in Meridian, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Meridian environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Meridian:
