Why report_pattern_findings needs a policy

The tool name 'report_pattern_findings' and description about reporting pattern analysis suggest it writes/submits analysis results or findings to the system, similar to sibling tools 'report_audit_findings' and 'report_event_reclassification' which also appear to write data. The action of 'reporting' implies creating or updating records. No evidence of deletion or financial transactions.

From the tool's definition 'Report pattern analysis for unknown provenance segments' — 'report' implies submitting/writing findings into the system

POLICY

How to control report_pattern_findings

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Rijksmuseum Mcp+, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for report_pattern_findings:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "report_pattern_findings": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "report_pattern_findings_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

report_pattern_findings 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
