AI agents use convert_between_classifications to create or modify resources in SIC Codes UK. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call convert_between_classifications repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach SIC Codes UK.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the convert_between_classifications tool do? +

Convert a classification code between UK SIC 2007, UK SIC 2026, GICS (MSCI), and ICB (FTSE Russell) systems. Returns equivalent codes in the target system with confidence levels and relationship types. Supports converting SIC 2007 codes to SIC 2026 equivalents (and vice versa) with relationship info (unchanged, renamed, split, merged, retired, new).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SIC Codes UK MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on convert_between_classifications? +

Register the SIC Codes UK MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for convert_between_classifications: 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 SIC Codes UK. Nothing to install.

What risk level is convert_between_classifications? +

convert_between_classifications is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit convert_between_classifications? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the convert_between_classifications 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.

How do I block convert_between_classifications completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for convert_between_classifications. 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.

What MCP server provides convert_between_classifications? +

convert_between_classifications is provided by the SIC Codes UK MCP server (sic-codes-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SIC Codes UK tool call.
