What get_compute_summary does on PlugLayer MCP Server

AI agents call get_compute_summary to retrieve information from PlugLayer MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_compute_summary needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays account-level compute information for planning purposes. It has no side effects, creates no resources, executes no operations, and modifies nothing. The explicit instruction to 'prefer estimate_compute() first' before purchasing further confirms this is informational.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_compute_summary' and description 'Show accessible account-level compute' indicates retrieval of data about existing compute resources without modification or execution of infrastructure changes.

Questions about get_compute_summary

What does the get_compute_summary tool do? +

Show accessible account-level compute. If the user is still planning capacity, prefer estimate_compute() first, then use the returned offer link to purchase or request the right amount. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PlugLayer MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_compute_summary? +

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

What risk level is get_compute_summary? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_compute_summary? +

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

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

get_compute_summary is provided by the PlugLayer MCP Server MCP server (pluglayer/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
