Why report_progress needs a policy

With no description available, classification relies solely on the tool name. 'report_progress' most likely writes or updates a progress status within the session/dialogue management system, but could also simply be a read/status operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name 'report_progress' suggests reporting or updating progress state.

POLICY

How to control report_progress

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Aurai Advisor (上级顾问 MCP), and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for report_progress:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "report_progress": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "report_progress_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

report_progress gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
