AI agents invoke preview_channel_template to trigger processes or run actions in PoolParty Main Stage Airtime. 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.
preview_channel_template 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.

Preview what a channel template would create. Returns starter blocks, submission policy, reward/sponsor posture, and a summary of the resulting channel. Channel creation is not yet available — this is a dry-run preview. Read-only. No auth required.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the PoolParty Main Stage Airtime MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the PoolParty Main Stage Airtime MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for preview_channel_template: 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 PoolParty Main Stage Airtime. Nothing to install.
preview_channel_template is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the preview_channel_template 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 preview_channel_template. 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.
preview_channel_template is provided by the PoolParty Main Stage Airtime MCP server (https://www.poolparty.io/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
