What build_workflow_links does on Ainumbers Mcp Apps
AI agents invoke build_workflow_links to trigger actions in Ainumbers Mcp Apps. 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
chain | string | — | Name of a pre-defined chain (one of 374 — enumerate with find_chain). Mutually exclusive with steps. |
steps | array | — | Ad-hoc ordered step list. Mutually exclusive with chain. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why build_workflow_links is rated High
build_workflow_links triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs build_workflow_links safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ainumbers Mcp Apps, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For build_workflow_links, this is the rule to start with:
build_workflow_links 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ainumbers Mcp Apps, apply this rule, and every build_workflow_links call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about build_workflow_links
Constructs an ordered set of ready-to-use deep-links for a named AINumbers workflow chain or an ad-hoc sequence of tools. Each link points directly to the browser tool; prefill-enabled steps accept #in=<base64url(JSON)> fragments so the tool opens pre-filled. Zero server-side execution -- all tool logic runs deterministically in the user's browser. Use this to hand a user a complete workflow: open step 1, run it, export its Policy Mandate, open step 2 (pre-filled from step 1 outputs), repeat. 374 named chains are available — enumerate them with find_chain. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
build_workflow_links accepts 2 parameters: chain, steps. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_workflow_links: 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 Ainumbers Mcp Apps. Nothing to install.
build_workflow_links is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_workflow_links 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for build_workflow_links. 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.
build_workflow_links is provided by the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP server (postoaklabs/ainumbers-mcp-apps). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
