start_strategy · Refinore MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What start_strategy does on Refinore

AI agents invoke start_strategy to trigger actions in Refinore. 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 start_strategy needs a policy

This tool executes a complex blockchain operation (mining session launch) whose real-world effects depend on the strategy content and market conditions. While mining itself generates tokens rather than destroying them, the execution of an automated financial operation on-chain that consumes resources (gas, computational time) and produces tokens warrants Execute classification.

From the tool's definition start_strategy 'Launches an auto-mining session' — this triggers an autonomous operation on the Solana blockchain that executes a mining strategy with real financial consequences (token generation, gas fees, rewards allocation).

Verdict

start_strategy Rate-limited

start_strategy 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.

FAQ

Questions about start_strategy

What does the start_strategy tool do? +

Start mining using a saved strategy. Launches an auto-mining session with the strategy. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Refinore MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on start_strategy? +

Register the Refinore MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for start_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 start_strategy? +

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

Can I rate-limit start_strategy? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the start_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 start_strategy completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for start_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 start_strategy? +

start_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.
