What start_data_recording does on Nonead Universal-Robots MCP Server

AI agents use start_data_recording to create or update resources in Nonead Universal-Robots MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nonead Universal-Robots MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

Why start_data_recording needs a policy

This tool initiates a data recording session on the robot, which creates/writes data to storage. It has side effects (starts a recording process) but is reversible (recording can be stopped). The main risk is resource consumption or interference with robot operations, but it does not directly move the robot or execute commands.

How to control start_data_recording

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_data_recording": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_data_recording_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

start_data_recording 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.
