morph_auto_cull_scan

Run the auto-cull dry-run scan: which brood variants the system would cull based on conversion floors, ROI thresholds, and saturation. READ-ONLY — does not actually cull.

Part of the Hive Morph server.

morph_auto_cull_scan is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call morph_auto_cull_scan to retrieve information from Hive Morph without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though morph_auto_cull_scan only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the morph_auto_cull_scan tool do? +

Run the auto-cull dry-run scan: which brood variants the system would cull based on conversion floors, ROI thresholds, and saturation. READ-ONLY — does not actually cull.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hive Morph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on morph_auto_cull_scan? +

Register the Hive Morph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for morph_auto_cull_scan: 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 Hive Morph. Nothing to install.

What risk level is morph_auto_cull_scan? +

morph_auto_cull_scan is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit morph_auto_cull_scan? +

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

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

morph_auto_cull_scan is provided by the Hive Morph MCP server (https://hive-mcp-morph.onrender.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 Hive Morph tool call.
