AI agents use plan_create 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 plan_create 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 plan_create 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 plan_create only ever does what you allow.

What does the plan_create tool do? +

Call only after example_prompts and after you have completed prompt drafting/approval (non-tool step). PlanExe turns the approved prompt into a strategic project-plan draft (20+ sections) in ~10-20 min. Sections include: executive summary, interactive Gantt charts, investor pitch, project plan with SMART criteria, strategic decision analysis, scenario comparison, assumptions with expert review, governance structure, SWOT analysis, team role profiles, simulated expert criticism, work breakdown structure, plan review (critical issues, KPIs, financial strategy, automation opportunities), Q&A, premortem with failure scenarios, self-audit checklist, and adversarial premise attacks that argue against the project. The adversarial sections (premortem, self-audit, premise attacks) surface risks and questions the prompter may not have considered. Returns plan_id (UUID); use it for plan_status, plan_stop, plan_retry, and plan_file_info. To track progress, poll plan_status at reasonable intervals (e.g. every 5 minutes). Optionally, run curl -N <sse_url> in a background shell as a completion detector — the stream auto-closes on terminal state (completed/failed/stopped). If you lose a plan_id, call plan_list to recover it. If the same prompt + model_profile is submitted by the same user within a short window, the existing plan is returned (with deduplicated=true) instead of creating a new one. If you are unsure which model_profile to choose, call model_profiles first. If your deployment uses credits, include user_api_key to charge the correct account. Common error codes: INVALID_USER_API_KEY, USER_API_KEY_REQUIRED, INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS.. 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 plan_create? +

Register the PlanExe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for plan_create: 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 plan_create? +

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

Can I rate-limit plan_create? +

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

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

plan_create 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.
