AI agents invoke aidex_global_guideline to trigger processes or run actions in Aidex. 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.
aidex_global_guideline 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.

Manage persistent guidelines in the global AiDex database (~/.aidex/global.db). Guidelines are named key-value instructions that apply across all projects — e.g. "review" → detailed review checklist, "release-prep" → release steps, "new-feature" → conventions to follow. Use list at session start to load active guidelines. Works without prior global_init.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Aidex MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Aidex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aidex_global_guideline: 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 Aidex. Nothing to install.
aidex_global_guideline 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 aidex_global_guideline 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 aidex_global_guideline. 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.
aidex_global_guideline is provided by the Aidex MCP server (aidex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
