Invoke a tool on a connected MCP driver. This proxies the call to the external MCP server (e.g. playwright-mcp or mobile-mcp) and returns the result. Use list_driver_tools to see available tools and their parameters first.

AI agents invoke call_driver_tool to trigger processes or run actions in Nodebench. 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.
call_driver_tool 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access call_driver_tool gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Invoke a tool on a connected MCP driver. This proxies the call to the external MCP server (e.g. playwright-mcp or mobile-mcp) and returns the result. Use list_driver_tools to see available tools and their parameters first.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for call_driver_tool: 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 Nodebench. Nothing to install.
call_driver_tool 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 call_driver_tool 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 call_driver_tool. 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.
call_driver_tool is provided by the Nodebench MCP server (nodebench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
