AI agents use criticality_score to create or modify resources in Dependencyoracle. 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 criticality_score 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 Dependencyoracle.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so criticality_score only ever does what you allow.

What does the criticality_score tool do? +

Calculate criticality score based on dependencies, classification, redundancy.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dependencyoracle MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on criticality_score? +

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

What risk level is criticality_score? +

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

Can I rate-limit criticality_score? +

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

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

criticality_score is provided by the Dependencyoracle MCP server (https://tooloracle.io/dependency/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Dependencyoracle tool call.
