What set_amplitude_minimum does on Pypi:labmcp Alicat
AI agents use set_amplitude_minimum to create or update resources in Pypi:labmcp Alicat, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Pypi:labmcp Alicat environment.
Why set_amplitude_minimum is rated Medium
Modifies instrument output settings reversibly; affects lab measurement state but not data destruction.
From the tool's definition Turn the sine output down to the instrument minimum
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_amplitude_minimum safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pypi:labmcp Alicat, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_amplitude_minimum, this is the rule to start with:
set_amplitude_minimum 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Pypi:labmcp Alicat, apply this rule, and every set_amplitude_minimum call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_amplitude_minimum
Turn the sine output down to the instrument minimum (the lock-in's closest thing to. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pypi:labmcp Alicat MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pypi:labmcp Alicat MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_amplitude_minimum: 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 Pypi:labmcp Alicat. Nothing to install.
set_amplitude_minimum is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_amplitude_minimum 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 set_amplitude_minimum. 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.
set_amplitude_minimum is provided by the Pypi:labmcp Alicat MCP server (pypi:labmcp-alicat). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
