AI agents invoke helix_dossier_start to trigger processes or run actions in Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence. 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.
helix_dossier_start 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.

Start generating a full evidence dossier for a compound (async job). Returns a job_id to poll with helix_dossier_status. Requires Professional or Enterprise tier — Starter keys are blocked with 403 tier_insufficient.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for helix_dossier_start: 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 Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence. Nothing to install.
helix_dossier_start 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 helix_dossier_start 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 helix_dossier_start. 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.
helix_dossier_start is provided by the Hormonaly Clinical Intelligence MCP server (https://mcp.hormonaly.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
