AI agents invoke tool_startability_delta to trigger processes or run actions in Patent Space. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
tool_startability_delta can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access tool_startability_delta gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Compute change in startability scores over time. Shows which firm-technology pairs gained or lost the most startability. Requires multi-year startability surface data. Args: mode: "by_firm" (cluster deltas for one firm) or "by_tech" (firm deltas for one cluster). query: Firm name/ticker (by_firm) or cluster_id/CPC code (by_tech). year_from: Start year (default: 2020). year_to: End year (default: 2024). top_n: Number of results (default: 20). direction: "gainers" (highest delta), "losers" (lowest delta), or "both". Returns: Ranked list of pairs by startability delta with score_start, score_end, delta.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Patent Space MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Patent Space MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tool_startability_delta: 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 Patent Space. Nothing to install.
tool_startability_delta 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 tool_startability_delta 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 tool_startability_delta. 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.
tool_startability_delta is provided by the Patent Space MCP server (Rei02061986/patent-space-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
