Track a Costco order delivery status
AI agents call track_order to retrieve information from Mcp Costco without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Tracking an order is a read-only operation that queries delivery status. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent. The worst outcome would be viewing status information the user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'track_order' and description states 'Track a Costco order delivery status' — this retrieves order status information without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations beyond a simple query.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the track_order 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 track_order. 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.
