AI agents use obligation_map to create or modify resources in Policyoracle. 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 obligation_map 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 Policyoracle.

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

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

What does the obligation_map tool do? +

Policy obligations DORA-POL-01 to POL-04, 12 RTS policies, cross-jurisdiction.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Policyoracle MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on obligation_map? +

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

What risk level is obligation_map? +

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

Can I rate-limit obligation_map? +

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

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

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

Enforce policy on every Policyoracle tool call.
