AI agents use switch_dannet_server to create or modify resources in Dannet. 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 switch_dannet_server 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 Dannet.

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

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so switch_dannet_server only ever does what you allow.

What does the switch_dannet_server tool do? +

Switch between local and remote DanNet servers on the fly. This tool allows you to change the DanNet server endpoint during runtime without restarting the MCP server. Useful for switching between development (local) and production (remote) servers. Args: server: Server to switch to. Options: - "local": Use localhost:3456 (development server) - "remote": Use wordnet.dk (production server) - Custom URL: Any valid URL starting with http:// or https:// Returns: Dict with status information: - status: "success" or "error" - message: Description of the operation - previous_url: The URL that was previously active - current_url: The URL that is now active Example: # Switch to local development server result = switch_dannet_server("local") # Switch to production server result = switch_dannet_server("remote") # Switch to custom server result = switch_dannet_server("https://my-custom-dannet.example.com"). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dannet MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on switch_dannet_server? +

Register the Dannet MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for switch_dannet_server: 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 Dannet. Nothing to install.

What risk level is switch_dannet_server? +

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

Can I rate-limit switch_dannet_server? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the switch_dannet_server 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 switch_dannet_server completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for switch_dannet_server. 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 switch_dannet_server? +

switch_dannet_server is provided by the Dannet MCP server (https://wordnet.dk/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Dannet tool call.
