Low Risk

decide_interrupt

Submit a human decision on an interrupt request (approve or reject).

Part of the Loopin server.

decide_interrupt is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call decide_interrupt to retrieve information from Loopin without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though decide_interrupt only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so decide_interrupt only ever does what you allow.

What does the decide_interrupt tool do? +

Submit a human decision on an interrupt request (approve or reject).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Loopin MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on decide_interrupt? +

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

What risk level is decide_interrupt? +

decide_interrupt is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit decide_interrupt? +

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

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

decide_interrupt is provided by the Loopin MCP server (nicholasemccormick/loopin-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Loopin tool call.
