AI agents use setActiveContext to create or modify resources in Cupix Compass. 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 setActiveContext 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 Cupix Compass.

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

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

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

What does the setActiveContext tool do? +

Save the user's active team and facility so subsequent tool calls can omit the team_domain / facility_key arguments. Args: team_domain: Team domain to remember (required unless clear=True). facility_key: Facility key to remember (required unless clear=True). clear: If true, delete the stored selection and ignore the other args. Returns: Human-readable confirmation message.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Cupix Compass MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on setActiveContext? +

Register the Cupix Compass MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for setActiveContext: 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 Cupix Compass. Nothing to install.

What risk level is setActiveContext? +

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

Can I rate-limit setActiveContext? +

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

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

setActiveContext is provided by the Cupix Compass MCP server (https://7qc1f4ft9d.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Cupix Compass tool call.
