What planfix_request does on Planfix MCP Server

AI agents invoke planfix_request to trigger actions in Planfix MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why planfix_request needs a policy

This tool allows arbitrary API requests with any HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH), path, and body. It is a generic passthrough to the Planfix REST API, meaning it can perform any operation the API supports — including reading, writing, deleting records, or triggering financial operations like sell tasks.

How to control planfix_request

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "planfix_request": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "planfix_request_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

planfix_request 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.

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