WHAT IT DOES

What toggle does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents invoke toggle to trigger actions in Mcp Control Plane. 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.

RISK

Why toggle is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation (toggling a Home Assistant entity), which changes the state of a physical or virtual device. It is not a simple read, and while it modifies state, it executes an action in an external system (Home Assistant) with real-world effects such as turning lights, switches, or other smart home devices on or off.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs toggle 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 toggle, this is the rule to start with:

toggle Rate-limited

toggle 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 Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every toggle call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on toggle? +

Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for toggle: 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 toggle? +

toggle is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit toggle? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the toggle 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 toggle completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for toggle. 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 toggle? +
