Execute a command that was flagged as dangerous by send_command. Requires a justification explaining WHY the command is necessary. This is a separate confirmation step for safety.

AI agents invoke confirm_dangerous_command to trigger processes or run actions in Mcp Interactive Terminal. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
confirm_dangerous_command can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access confirm_dangerous_command gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Execute a command that was flagged as dangerous by send_command. Requires a justification explaining WHY the command is necessary. This is a separate confirmation step for safety.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Mcp Interactive Terminal MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Mcp Interactive Terminal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for confirm_dangerous_command: 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 Mcp Interactive Terminal. Nothing to install.
confirm_dangerous_command 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 confirm_dangerous_command 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 confirm_dangerous_command. 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.
confirm_dangerous_command is provided by the Mcp Interactive Terminal MCP server (mcp-interactive-terminal). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
