What k1_grip does on Execution Market
AI agents invoke k1_grip to trigger actions in Execution Market. 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 k1_grip is rated High
This tool actuates physical hardware (grippers) with a specified force and duration, triggering a real-world physical operation. It falls under Execute as it runs an external physical action whose effects depend on the arguments (force and duration). The blast radius is high because incorrect force or duration could cause physical damage to objects, equipment, or people in the real world.
From the tool's definition Close the grippers at ``force`` N for ``duration_s`` seconds.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs k1_grip safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Execution Market, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For k1_grip, this is the rule to start with:
k1_grip 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Execution Market, apply this rule, and every k1_grip call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about k1_grip
Close the grippers at force N for duration_s seconds. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Execution Market MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Execution Market MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for k1_grip: 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 Execution Market. Nothing to install.
k1_grip is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the k1_grip 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 k1_grip. 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.
k1_grip is provided by the Execution Market MCP server (https://mcp.execution.market/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
