WHAT IT DOES

What agent_branch_prompt does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call agent_branch_prompt to retrieve information from Mcp Control Plane without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why agent_branch_prompt is rated Low

This tool retrieves and formats a prompt for use in spawning an agent branch. It performs a read operation without side effects, reversible changes, code execution, data destruction, or financial impact. The return value is informational data prepared for downstream use.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'agent_branch_prompt' and description 'Return a spawn_agent-ready prompt' indicate retrieval/query of existing data (a prompt) with no modification, deletion, or external execution.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs agent_branch_prompt safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For agent_branch_prompt, this is the rule to start with:

agent_branch_prompt Allowed

agent_branch_prompt is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "agent_branch_prompt": {}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every agent_branch_prompt call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on agent_branch_prompt? +

Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agent_branch_prompt: 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 Mcp Control Plane. Nothing to install.

What risk level is agent_branch_prompt? +

Can I rate-limit agent_branch_prompt? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agent_branch_prompt 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.

How do I block agent_branch_prompt completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for agent_branch_prompt. 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.

What MCP server provides agent_branch_prompt? +

agent_branch_prompt is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
