WHAT IT DOES

What cap does on OpenClaw

AI agents call cap as a supporting operation in OpenClaw workflows.

RISK

Why cap is rated Low

The description 'queue cap' is too vague to determine a clear action. It may read or write a queue capacity setting, but there is insufficient information to confidently assign a more specific category. Defaulting to Other with low confidence due to uninformative description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cap' with description 'queue cap' — extremely terse and ambiguous; could mean reading/setting a queue capacity limit.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cap safely

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

cap Rate-limited

cap gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
