Free to start. No card required.

AI agents invoke assess_message to trigger processes or run actions in Agent Safe. 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.

assess_message 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 assess_message only ever does what you allow.

What does the assess_message tool do? +

FREE triage tool — send whatever context you have (message content, sender info, URLs, attachments, draft replies, thread messages, image/video URLs) and get back a prioritized list of which security tools to run. No AI call, no charge, instant response. Always call this first to get the best security coverage.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Agent Safe MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on assess_message? +

Register the Agent Safe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for assess_message: 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 Agent Safe. Nothing to install.

What risk level is assess_message? +

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

Can I rate-limit assess_message? +

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

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

assess_message is provided by the Agent Safe MCP server (https://agentsafe.locationledger.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 Agent Safe tool call.
