Combined work-stream detection + per-stream pipeline position detection. Takes issue file ownership data and issue workflow states, clusters issues into streams, then detects the pipeline phase for each stream independently.
AI agents call ralph_hero__detect_stream_positions to retrieve information from Ralph Hero without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs data analysis and detection—it ingests workflow states and ownership data, performs clustering and classification to identify stream positions. These are read-only operations with no side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or external code executed based on the description provided. This is typical of Read-category tools that query and analyze existing information.
From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'Takes issue file ownership data and issue workflow states, clusters issues into streams, then detects the pipeline phase for each stream independently.' This is analytical/detection work that reads and clusters existing data…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Combined work-stream detection + per-stream pipeline position detection. Takes issue file ownership data and issue workflow states, clusters issues into streams, then detects the pipeline phase for each stream independently. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ralph Hero MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ralph Hero MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ralph_hero__detect_stream_positions: 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 Ralph Hero. Nothing to install.
ralph_hero__detect_stream_positions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ralph_hero__detect_stream_positions 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 ralph_hero__detect_stream_positions. 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.
ralph_hero__detect_stream_positions is provided by the Ralph Hero MCP server (ralph-hero-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
