AI agents use register_api_key to create or modify resources in Sustainability Auditor. 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 register_api_key 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 Sustainability Auditor.

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 register_api_key only ever does what you allow.

What does the register_api_key tool do? +

Register for a free ClimateUX API key (10 audits/month, no credit card). Idempotent — same email always returns the same key.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sustainability Auditor MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on register_api_key? +

Register the Sustainability Auditor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for register_api_key: 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 Sustainability Auditor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is register_api_key? +

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

Can I rate-limit register_api_key? +

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

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

register_api_key is provided by the Sustainability Auditor MCP server (https://mcp.climateux.net/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Sustainability Auditor tool call.
