Start a route optimization job with multiple addresses. Authenticate with either (otpCode + otpEmail) or mroApiKey.

Part of the MyRouteOnline server.

startOptimization can trigger actions in MyRouteOnline, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke startOptimization to trigger processes or run actions in MyRouteOnline. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

startOptimization can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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

What does the startOptimization tool do? +

Start a route optimization job with multiple addresses. Authenticate with either (otpCode + otpEmail) or mroApiKey.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the MyRouteOnline MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on startOptimization? +

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

What risk level is startOptimization? +

startOptimization is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit startOptimization? +

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

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

startOptimization is provided by the MyRouteOnline MCP server (https://planner.myrouteonline.com/ws_api_ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every MyRouteOnline tool call.
