create a batch discovery for a given test target. Useful to generate multiple test cases from a prompt and optional images in one go
AI agents use createBatchGeneration to create or update resources in Octomind — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Octomind environment.
The tool creates and generates multiple test cases, which are new data artifacts stored in the platform. This is a reversible write operation (test cases can be deleted via the sibling 'deleteTestTarget' tool). It does not execute arbitrary code or delete data irreversibly, so it falls under Write rather than Execute or Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'create a batch discovery for a given test target' and 'generate multiple test cases'. This is a write operation that creates new test data (test cases) in the octomind platform.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access createBatchGeneration gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Octomind, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for createBatchGeneration:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"createBatchGeneration": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "createbatchgeneration_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}createBatchGeneration 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.

create a batch discovery for a given test target. Useful to generate multiple test cases from a prompt and optional images in one go. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Octomind MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Octomind MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for createBatchGeneration: 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 Octomind. Nothing to install.
createBatchGeneration 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 createBatchGeneration 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 createBatchGeneration. 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.
createBatchGeneration is provided by the Octomind MCP server (octomind-dev/octomind-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Octomind, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
