[Optional/Advanced] Manually poll for auth token after user approves. Usually not needed since sign_in polls automatically.

Part of the Planform MCP Server server.

poll_auth_token is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call poll_auth_token to retrieve information from Planform MCP Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though poll_auth_token only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the poll_auth_token tool do? +

[Optional/Advanced] Manually poll for auth token after user approves. Usually not needed since sign_in polls automatically.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Planform MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on poll_auth_token? +

Register the Planform MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for poll_auth_token: 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 poll_auth_token? +

poll_auth_token is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit poll_auth_token? +

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

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

poll_auth_token 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.
