What heatmap_plot does on CLIO Adios
AI agents invoke heatmap_plot to trigger actions in CLIO Adios. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why heatmap_plot is rated High
This tool processes input data files (CSV/Excel) and generates a heatmap visualization, which involves executing a computation/rendering pipeline. It reads data and produces output artifacts. It's more than a pure Read because it actively creates a plot artifact, and it's not purely Write since it involves executing analytical computation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs heatmap_plot safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CLIO Adios, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For heatmap_plot, this is the rule to start with:
heatmap_plot stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CLIO Adios, apply this rule, and every heatmap_plot call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about heatmap_plot
Create a correlation heatmap from numeric columns in CSV or Excel data. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the CLIO Adios MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the CLIO Adios MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for heatmap_plot: 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 CLIO Adios. Nothing to install.
heatmap_plot 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 heatmap_plot 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 heatmap_plot. 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.
heatmap_plot is provided by the CLIO Adios MCP server (pypi:clio-kit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
