AI agents use set_context_routing to create or modify resources in ContextLayer. 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 set_context_routing 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 ContextLayer.

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

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

What does the set_context_routing tool do? +

Set the context routing mode for the organization. Requires admin role. Options: 'keyword_llm' (balanced), 'keyword_only' (fastest), 'llm_only' (most accurate).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ContextLayer MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on set_context_routing? +

Register the ContextLayer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_context_routing: 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 ContextLayer. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_context_routing? +

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

Can I rate-limit set_context_routing? +

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

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

set_context_routing is provided by the ContextLayer MCP server (https://api.dotnova.io/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ContextLayer tool call.
