Medium Risk

open_diagram

Open a diagram by title or ID. If you omit the argument, re-loads the currently open diagram. The opened diagram becomes current for create_node and create_link.

Part of the Planform MCP Server server.

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

AI agents use open_diagram to create or modify resources in Planform MCP Server. 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 open_diagram 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 Planform MCP Server.

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

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

What does the open_diagram tool do? +

Open a diagram by title or ID. If you omit the argument, re-loads the currently open diagram. The opened diagram becomes current for create_node and create_link.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Planform MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on open_diagram? +

Register the Planform MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for open_diagram: 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 Planform MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is open_diagram? +

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

Can I rate-limit open_diagram? +

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

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

open_diagram is provided by the Planform MCP Server MCP server (@shirbarzur/planform-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Planform MCP Server tool call.
