AI agents use monarch_login_with_token to create or update resources in Monarch — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Monarch environment.
This tool authenticates a session by storing/setting a session token, which is a write/state-modification action. It doesn't read data, execute code, destroy data, or move money — it establishes an authenticated session. Misuse could allow an agent to authenticate as the user and then use other tools (some financial/destructive), but the tool itself is a write operation.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Monarch, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for monarch_login_with_token:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"monarch_login_with_token": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "monarch_login_with_token_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}monarch_login_with_token stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
