calls_wait can trigger actions in Dialogbrain, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke calls_wait to trigger processes or run actions in Dialogbrain. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

calls_wait can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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

What does the calls_wait tool do? +

Block until a voice call ends (status changes from 'active') or timeout elapses. Returns ended=true with final state when the call has ended; ended=false on timeout (re-issue to keep waiting). The returned state includes outcome so callers can branch on pickup vs. no-answer (answered/no_answer/busy/declined/failed/unknown). Default timeout 90s; cap 110s — bounded by nginx proxy_read_timeout 120s on /mcp.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Dialogbrain MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on calls_wait? +

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

What risk level is calls_wait? +

calls_wait is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit calls_wait? +

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

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

calls_wait is provided by the Dialogbrain MCP server (https://api.dialogbrain.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 Dialogbrain tool call.
