AI agents use convert-gregorian-to-hebrew to create or modify resources in Hebcal. 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 convert-gregorian-to-hebrew 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 Hebcal.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access convert-gregorian-to-hebrew gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Converts a Gregorian (civil) date to a Hebrew date (Jewish calendar). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hebcal MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Hebcal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for convert-gregorian-to-hebrew: 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 Hebcal. Nothing to install.
convert-gregorian-to-hebrew is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the convert-gregorian-to-hebrew 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 convert-gregorian-to-hebrew. 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.
convert-gregorian-to-hebrew is provided by the Hebcal MCP server (@hebcal/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
