create_strategy · Refinore MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_strategy does on Refinore

AI agents use create_strategy to create or update resources in Refinore — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Refinore environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_strategy needs a policy

This tool creates a new persistent mining strategy that executes automatically every round on the Solana blockchain. While the creation itself is a Write operation (reversible, since a sibling tool 'delete_strategy' exists), the strategy involves custom scripts that run autonomously and interact with blockchain/financial operations, making misuse potentially high-severity.

From the tool's definition "Create a new auto-mining strategy" and "Supports deterministic custom strategy scripts that run every round"

Verdict

create_strategy Rate-limited

create_strategy stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about create_strategy

What does the create_strategy tool do? +

Create a new auto-mining strategy with a name and mining parameters. Supports deterministic custom strategy scripts that run every round. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Refinore MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_strategy? +

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

What risk level is create_strategy? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_strategy? +

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

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

create_strategy is provided by the Refinore MCP server (jusscubs/refinore-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
