What generate_structured does on Iconnect
AI agents use generate_structured to create or update resources in Iconnect, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iconnect environment.
Why generate_structured is rated Medium
An AI agent can call generate_structured faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Iconnect by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs generate_structured safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For generate_structured, this is the rule to start with:
generate_structured stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Iconnect, apply this rule, and every generate_structured call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about generate_structured
Generate structured JSON output from Apple. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Iconnect MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Iconnect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_structured: 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 Iconnect. Nothing to install.
generate_structured 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 generate_structured 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 generate_structured. 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.
generate_structured is provided by the Iconnect MCP server (iconnect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
