build_schedule · ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What build_schedule does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents invoke build_schedule to trigger actions in ContextForge MCP Gateway. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why build_schedule needs a policy

Building a schedule from a WBS involves executing a transformation/computation process. It is not a pure read (it produces a new artifact) but also not clearly a write to persistent storage or destructive. The most appropriate category is Execute, as it runs a scheduling algorithm/model generation.

From the tool's definition 'Convert WBS into a simple sequential schedule model' — transforms a Work Breakdown Structure into a schedule, implying computation/model generation rather than simple data retrieval or storage.

Verdict

build_schedule Rate-limited

build_schedule stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches ContextForge MCP Gateway, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about build_schedule

What does the build_schedule tool do? +

Convert WBS into a simple sequential schedule model. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on build_schedule? +

Register the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_schedule: 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.

What risk level is build_schedule? +

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

Can I rate-limit build_schedule? +

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

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

build_schedule is provided by the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server (jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
