Start the async ratings export job and return a poll_url immediately, without waiting. Call this at the beginning of a workflow, do other data lookups while the job processes (~60–90s), then call get_ratings(poll_url) to collect results. This avoids blocking the workflow mid-step.
AI agents invoke start_ratings_job to trigger actions in StatsPlus MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool initiates an external computational job (ratings export) rather than merely reading or writing data. It is Execute-category because it triggers code execution on a backend service to generate/process ratings data.
From the tool's definition Tool 'start_ratings_job' triggers an external asynchronous operation ('Start the async ratings export job') that initiates a background process.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Start the async ratings export job and return a poll_url immediately, without waiting. Call this at the beginning of a workflow, do other data lookups while the job processes (~60–90s), then call get_ratings(poll_url) to collect results. This avoids blocking the workflow mid-step. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for start_ratings_job: 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 StatsPlus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
start_ratings_job 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 start_ratings_job 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 start_ratings_job. 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.
start_ratings_job is provided by the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP server (joshuarichard/statsplus-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
