AI agents use devplan_generate_plan to create or modify resources in DevPlan MCP Server. 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 devplan_generate_plan 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 DevPlan MCP Server.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access devplan_generate_plan gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Generate a DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md scaffold. IMPORTANT: This outputs a SCAFFOLD, not a finished plan. REQUIRED WORKFLOW (you MUST follow this): 1. Call this tool to get the scaffold, optionally specifying target (claude, cursor, aider, cline, windsurf, generic) 2. ENHANCE the scaffold by: - Reading the project's existing codebase - Writing COMPLETE file contents for each subtask (no "Add to" instructions) - Including ALL imports in every code block - Making test fixtures self-contained in each test file - Providing exact line context for any file modifications 3. Call devplan_validate_haiku_executable to verify the plan 4. If validation fails, fix the issues and re-validate 5. ONLY present the plan to the user after validation passes The user should NEVER see the raw scaffold - only the enhanced, validated plan.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the DevPlan MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DevPlan MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for devplan_generate_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 DevPlan MCP Server. Nothing to install.
devplan_generate_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 devplan_generate_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 devplan_generate_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.
devplan_generate_plan is provided by the DevPlan MCP Server MCP server (https://devplan-mcp-server.mike-c63.workers.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
