What orgo_wait does on Orgo MCP Server

AI agents invoke orgo_wait to trigger actions in Orgo MCP Server. 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 orgo_wait needs a policy

orgo_wait is not destructive, financial, or write-oriented — it does not modify, delete, or create data. It is not purely Read since it actively intervenes in execution flow rather than just querying state. The tool executes a pause/delay command on a controlled VM, making it an Execute-category tool.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Pause execution on the VM for a fixed duration' — this is a control operation that affects execution flow on a virtual machine.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access orgo_wait gives an agent:

How to control orgo_wait

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

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

orgo_wait 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 Orgo 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.

Pause execution on the VM for a fixed duration. Useful for sequencing actions between screen updates. Use after a click/type that triggers animation or async loading, before. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Orgo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on orgo_wait? +

Register the Orgo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for orgo_wait: 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 Orgo MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is orgo_wait? +

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

Can I rate-limit orgo_wait? +

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

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

orgo_wait is provided by the Orgo MCP Server MCP server (nickvasilescu/orgo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Orgo MCP Server tool call.
