IMPLEMENTATION PLAN — Generate a phased, classified implementation plan
AI agents use generate_implementation_plan to create or update resources in Iconsult MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iconsult MCP environment.
This tool creates new planning artifacts and project documentation, making it a Write operation. It does not execute external systems, delete data, or move money. Severity is medium because a flawed or manipulated implementation plan could lead to architectural decisions that waste resources or introduce technical debt, but the plan itself is reversible and requires human decision-makers to act on it.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'generate' and description states it 'Generate[s] a phased, classified implementation plan' — this creates structured planning data that modifies or initializes project state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_implementation_plan gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Iconsult MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_implementation_plan:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"generate_implementation_plan": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "generate_implementation_plan_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}generate_implementation_plan 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.
Free to start. No card required.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN — Generate a phased, classified implementation plan. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Iconsult MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Iconsult MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_implementation_plan: 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 Iconsult MCP. Nothing to install.
generate_implementation_plan 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 generate_implementation_plan 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 generate_implementation_plan. 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.
generate_implementation_plan is provided by the Iconsult MCP server (marcus-waldman/iconsult_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Iconsult MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
