AI agents use generate_text to create or modify resources in Orb Platform. 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 generate_text 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 Orb Platform.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_text 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 generate_text only ever does what you allow.

What does the generate_text tool do? +

Write, summarize, compliance-check, retrieve, negotiate, translate, or define text with policy enforcement.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Orb Platform MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_text? +

Register the Orb Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_text: 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 Orb Platform. Nothing to install.

What risk level is generate_text? +

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

Can I rate-limit generate_text? +

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

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

generate_text is provided by the Orb Platform MCP server (https://mcp.thedailylesson.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Orb Platform tool call.
