resolve_model

Resolve a model name to engine-specific artifacts including HuggingFace repo, filename, engine, and architecture.

Part of the Octomil server.

resolve_model can modify Octomil data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use resolve_model to create or modify resources in Octomil. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call resolve_model repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Octomil.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access resolve_model gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the resolve_model tool do? +

Resolve a model name to engine-specific artifacts including HuggingFace repo, filename, engine, and architecture.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Octomil MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on resolve_model? +

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

What risk level is resolve_model? +

resolve_model is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit resolve_model? +

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

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

resolve_model is provided by the Octomil MCP server (octomil/octomil). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Octomil tool call.
