AI agents use plan_stop 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_stop 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_stop only ever does what you allow.

What does the plan_stop tool do? +

Request the plan generation to stop. Pass the plan_id (the UUID returned by plan_create). Stopping is asynchronous: the stop flag is set immediately but the plan may continue briefly before halting. A stopped plan will transition to the stopped state. If the plan is already completed or failed, stop_requested returns false (the plan already finished). Unknown plan_id returns error code PLAN_NOT_FOUND.. 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_stop? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit plan_stop? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the plan_stop 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_stop completely? +

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

plan_stop 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.
