Free dry-run for any paid action (mint_sla, renew_sla, wrap_usdc, micro_reset, early_exit). Validates params, x402 header shape, and simulates the contract call against Base. Never broadcasts.

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

AI agents invoke simulate_action to trigger processes or run actions in InsureLink. 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.

simulate_action 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 simulate_action only ever does what you allow.

What does the simulate_action tool do? +

Free dry-run for any paid action (mint_sla, renew_sla, wrap_usdc, micro_reset, early_exit). Validates params, x402 header shape, and simulates the contract call against Base. Never broadcasts. Returns { simulated: true, would_succeed, revertReason? } or a precise error. Use this before calling any paid tool.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the InsureLink MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on simulate_action? +

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

What risk level is simulate_action? +

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

Can I rate-limit simulate_action? +

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

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

simulate_action is provided by the InsureLink MCP server (https://ivnmscuuljqubunqcgkh.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp-server/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
