How do parts combine, or how does a part stand alone?

Part of the Endiagram server.

compose is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call compose to perform operations in Endiagram. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.

Applying a policy to compose gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.

Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access compose 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 compose only ever does what you allow.

What does the compose tool do? +

How do parts combine, or how does a part stand alone? Merge mode (source_a + source_b + links): declare which entities in A are the same as entities in B; the combined graph is wired via string-equality of shared names. Extract mode (source + subsystem): pull a named subsystem out as standalone EN with boundary inputs/outputs, actors, and locations. Valid subsystem names come from structure's subsystems field — call structure on the source first to discover them. See the server instructions for EN language syntax.. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Endiagram MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on compose? +

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

What risk level is compose? +

compose is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit compose? +

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

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

compose is provided by the Endiagram MCP server (@endiagram/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Endiagram tool call.
