plan_retry

Retry a plan that is currently in failed or stopped state. Pass the plan_id and optionally model_profile (defaults to baseline). The plan is reset to pending, prior artifacts are cleared, and the same plan_id is requeued for processing. Returns PLAN_NOT_FOUND when plan_id is unknown and PLAN_NOT_...

AI agents use plan_retry 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_retry 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.

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

What does the plan_retry tool do? +

Retry a plan that is currently in failed or stopped state. Pass the plan_id and optionally model_profile (defaults to baseline). The plan is reset to pending, prior artifacts are cleared, and the same plan_id is requeued for processing. Returns PLAN_NOT_FOUND when plan_id is unknown and PLAN_NOT_FAILED when the plan is not in failed or stopped state.. 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_retry? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit plan_retry? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the plan_retry 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_retry completely? +

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

plan_retry 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.
