feedback · iTerm MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What feedback does on iTerm MCP

AI agents call feedback as a supporting operation in iTerm MCP workflows.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why feedback needs a policy

With no description available, the tool's function cannot be determined from its name alone. 'Feedback' could mean providing feedback to a session, reading feedback data, or some other operation. Given the server context (iTerm2 terminal orchestration), it might relate to retrieving output or status from sessions (Read), but this is speculative. Confidence is very low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'feedback' and the description is empty or uninformative.

Instant setup, no code required.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches iTerm MCP, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about feedback

What does the feedback tool do? +

feedback. It is categorised as a Other tool in the iTerm MCP MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on feedback? +

Register the iTerm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for feedback: 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 iTerm MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is feedback? +

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

Can I rate-limit feedback? +

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

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

feedback is provided by the iTerm MCP server (research-developer/iterm-mcp-claude-agency). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
