AI agents use plan_pathfind to create or modify resources in Oraclaw. 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 plan_pathfind 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 Oraclaw.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access plan_pathfind gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Find the shortest (or k-shortest) path between two nodes in a weighted graph using A* + Yen's algorithm. Use for routing, dependency resolution, project critical-path discovery, or 'how do I get from X to Y' questions on graphs. Set kPaths>1 to also return alternatives. For full graph structure analysis (centrality, communities), use analyze_graph. For task-to-time-slot assignment, use solve_schedule. Free.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Oraclaw MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Oraclaw MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for plan_pathfind: 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.
plan_pathfind is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the plan_pathfind 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for plan_pathfind. 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.
plan_pathfind 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.
