AI agents use example_prompts to create or modify resources in PlanExe. 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 example_prompts 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 PlanExe.

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

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

What does the example_prompts tool do? +

Call this first. Returns example prompts that define what a good prompt looks like. Do NOT call plan_create yet. Optional before plan_create: call model_profiles to choose model_profile. Next is a non-tool step: formulate a detailed prompt (typically ~300-800 words; use examples as a baseline, similar structure) and get user approval. Good prompt shape: objective, scope, constraints, timeline, stakeholders, budget/resources, and success criteria. Write the prompt as flowing prose, not structured markdown with headers or bullet lists. Weave technical specs, constraints, and targets naturally into sentences. Include banned words/approaches and governance preferences inline. The examples demonstrate this prose style — match their tone and density. Then call plan_create. PlanExe is not for tiny one-shot outputs like a 5-point checklist; and it does not support selecting only some internal pipeline steps.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PlanExe MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on example_prompts? +

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

What risk level is example_prompts? +

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

Can I rate-limit example_prompts? +

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

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

example_prompts is provided by the PlanExe MCP server (https://mcp.planexe.org/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every PlanExe tool call.
