WHAT IT DOES

What iam_resumeAgent does on Genesis

AI agents use iam_resumeAgent to create or update resources in Genesis, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Genesis environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`org_id`	string	Yes	The organization you are signed in to
`agent_did`	string	Yes	The agent's DID (did:oas:<kind>:<ulid>) or its IAM id (a_<ulid>, the `id` every agent list returns); both name the same agent.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why iam_resumeAgent is rated Medium

An AI agent can call iam_resumeAgent faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Genesis by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs iam_resumeAgent safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genesis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For iam_resumeAgent, this is the rule to start with:

iam_resumeAgent Rate-limited

iam_resumeAgent 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Genesis, apply this rule, and every iam_resumeAgent call is checked against it from then on.
