Why run_generator needs a policy

This tool generates and executes test code based on input plans. While the primary output is test creation (which could be Write), the tool's role in a mobile test automation agent means the generated tests will be executed against real or simulated mobile applications.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_generator' combined with description 'create executable tests' indicates code generation and execution.

POLICY

How to control run_generator

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mobile Testing AI Agent MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for run_generator:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_generator": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_generator_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

run_generator stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Mobile Testing AI Agent MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about run_generator

What does the run_generator tool do? +

Run Generator agent to create executable tests from a Markdown plan. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Mobile Testing AI Agent MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on run_generator? +

Register the Mobile Testing AI Agent MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for run_generator: 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 Mobile Testing AI Agent MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is run_generator? +

run_generator is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit run_generator? +

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

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

run_generator is provided by the Mobile Testing AI Agent MCP Server MCP server (padmarajnidagundi/mobile-app-testing-ai-agent-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
