explain_last_curation is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call explain_last_curation to retrieve information from Clarifyprompt without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though explain_last_curation only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the explain_last_curation tool do? +

Render a human-readable explanation of the Context Curator. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Clarifyprompt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on explain_last_curation? +

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

What risk level is explain_last_curation? +

explain_last_curation is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit explain_last_curation? +

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

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

explain_last_curation is provided by the Clarifyprompt MCP server (clarifyprompt-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Clarifyprompt tool call.
