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

AI agents invoke optimize_evolve to trigger processes or run actions in Oraclaw. 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.

optimize_evolve 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 optimize_evolve only ever does what you allow.

What does the optimize_evolve tool do? +

Genetic algorithm for combinatorial / discrete optimization with optional Pareto frontier for multi-objective problems. Use when the search space is discrete or mixed (binary feature selection, integer allocation, permutation problems like TSP), or when you want to explore multiple non-dominated solutions. For continuous black-box parameters, use optimize_cmaes — it converges faster on smooth objectives. Stochastic: same input gives different best chromosome each run. Free.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Oraclaw MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on optimize_evolve? +

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

What risk level is optimize_evolve? +

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

Can I rate-limit optimize_evolve? +

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

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

optimize_evolve is provided by the Oraclaw MCP server (@oraclaw/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
