What call_end does on Ringback

AI agents invoke call_end to trigger actions in Ringback. 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.

High Risk

Why call_end needs a policy

Based on the server context (live voice call management) and sibling tools, 'call_end' most likely terminates an active phone call. This is an external operation that affects a live telephony session. While ending a call could be considered mildly destructive (terminates an ongoing conversation), it is more accurately categorized as Execute since it triggers an external operation (hanging up a call).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'call_end' on a server that manages live voice calls (sibling tools: call_start, call_status, converse, say, listen). Description is empty.

How to control call_end

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

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

call_end 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 Ringback — 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.

Questions about call_end

What does the call_end tool do? +

call_end. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ringback MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on call_end? +

Register the Ringback MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for call_end: 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 Ringback. Nothing to install.

What risk level is call_end? +

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

Can I rate-limit call_end? +

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

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

call_end is provided by the Ringback MCP server (mohitbadwal/ringback). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ringback tool call.

Start from Ringback, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
