What ops_plan does on Yaver
AI agents use ops_plan to create or update resources in Yaver, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Yaver environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
verb | string | Yes | Verb name to plan for. |
machine | string | — | Target: "local", "auto", "primary", or a deviceId / alias. Same semantics as `ops`. |
payload | object | — | Verb-specific payload used for workDir / target / placement inference. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why ops_plan is rated Medium
An AI agent can call ops_plan faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Yaver by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

The rule that runs ops_plan safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ops_plan, this is the rule to start with:
ops_plan stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every ops_plan call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ops_plan
Resolve the execution plan for one ops verb without running it. Returns project context, machine placement, and caller access policy so agents can inspect deploy/reload routing and signed-companion constraints ahead of time. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
ops_plan accepts 3 parameters: verb, machine, payload. Required: verb. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ops_plan: 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 Yaver. Nothing to install.
ops_plan is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ops_plan 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 ops_plan. 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.
ops_plan is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
