# start_chronolog Connect to ChronoLog, create a chronicle, and acquire a story handle. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `start_chronolog`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/start-chronolog ## Facts - Tool: `start_chronolog` - Server: CLIO Adios (`pypi:clio-kit`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:clio-kit` - Homepage: https://github.com/iowarp/clio-kit - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "start_chronolog", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why start_chronolog is rated Medium The tool creates a new chronicle (a persistent data object) and acquires a handle, which are Write-level side effects. It does not appear to delete or overwrite existing data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Confidence is moderate because the description is sparse and the exact nature of 'chronicle' and 'story handle' in ChronoLog is not fully detailed. From the tool's own definition: "'Connect to ChronoLog, create a chronicle, and acquire a story handle' — creates a new chronicle (a data structure/resource) and establishes a connection handle" ## Use case AI agents use start_chronolog to create or update resources in CLIO Adios, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CLIO Adios environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CLIO Adios: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "start_chronolog": { "limits": [ { "counter": "start_chronolog_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on CLIO Adios (203) - `cancel_slurm_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/cancel-slurm-job.md - `destroy_pipeline` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/destroy-pipeline.md - `jm_remove_repo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-remove-repo.md - `jm_reset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-reset.md - `remove_pkg` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/remove-pkg.md - `slurm_cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/slurm-cancel.md - `allocate_slurm_nodes` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/allocate-slurm-nodes.md - `build_pipeline_env` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/build-pipeline-env.md - `generate_isosurface` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/generate-isosurface.md - `heatmap_plot` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/heatmap-plot.md - `hypothesis_testing` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/hypothesis-testing.md - `jarvis_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jarvis-run.md - `jm_cd` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-cd.md - `jm_graph_build` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-graph-build.md - `module_load` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-load.md - `module_swap` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-swap.md - `module_unload` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-unload.md - `parallel_sort_large_file` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/parallel-sort-large-file.md - `reset_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/reset-camera.md - `rotate_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/rotate-camera.md - `run_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/run-pipeline.md - `show_screenshot_preview` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/show-screenshot-preview.md - `stop_chronolog` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/stop-chronolog.md - `submit_array_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/submit-array-job.md - `submit_slurm_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/submit-slurm-job.md - `warp_by_vector` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/warp-by-vector.md - `aggregate_column_tool` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/aggregate-column-tool.md - `analyze_file_access_patterns` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-file-access-patterns.md - `analyze_log_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-log-statistics.md - `analyze_mpiio_operations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-mpiio-operations.md - …and 173 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
