AI agents use pause_campaign to create or update resources in Boosty MCP DeFi Platform — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Boosty MCP DeFi Platform environment.
Pausing a campaign modifies its state (from running to paused) but is reversible — the campaign can be resumed. This is a state-change write operation, not destructive. Given the DeFi trading context, misuse could halt legitimate trading operations, warranting medium severity.
From the tool's definition Pause a running campaign
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pause_campaign gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Boosty MCP DeFi Platform, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pause_campaign:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pause_campaign": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "pause_campaign_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}pause_campaign stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Pause a running campaign. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Boosty MCP DeFi Platform MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Boosty MCP DeFi Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pause_campaign: 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 Boosty MCP DeFi Platform. Nothing to install.
pause_campaign is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pause_campaign 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pause_campaign. 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.
pause_campaign is provided by the Boosty MCP DeFi Platform MCP server (nirholas/boosty). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
