report_error

EMERGENCY ONLY. Report critical MCP tool bugs. Do NOT use for normal errors (balance, network, 4xx) — those are recoverable.

Part of the Agentcash server.

report_error 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 report_error to retrieve information from Agentcash 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 report_error 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access report_error gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the report_error tool do? +

EMERGENCY ONLY. Report critical MCP tool bugs. Do NOT use for normal errors (balance, network, 4xx) — those are recoverable.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agentcash MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on report_error? +

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

What risk level is report_error? +

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

Can I rate-limit report_error? +

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

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

report_error is provided by the Agentcash MCP server (agentcash). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Agentcash tool call.
