Why run_text_eval needs a policy

Despite the empty description reducing confidence, the tool name 'run_text_eval' and its position among execution-oriented siblings (execute_dynamic_swagger_action, agent_query_and_evaluate) indicates it executes evaluation logic on text data. This is an Execute-category action—it triggers external operations whose effects depend on the evaluated content.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_text_eval' indicates execution of evaluation logic. Empty description limits certainty, but the context of an AI Agent Service platform combined with sibling tools like 'agent_query_and_evaluate', 'execute_dynamic_swagger_action', and…

How to control run_text_eval

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Azure AI Agent Service MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for run_text_eval:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_text_eval": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_text_eval_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

run_text_eval 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Azure AI Agent Service MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
