Generate detailed before/after code examples for a learning topic
AI agents use generate_code_example to create or update resources in Learning Hour MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Learning Hour MCP environment.
This tool creates new content (code examples) in a reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or perform financial operations. Generation of educational content examples falls squarely into the Write category. The severity is low because the tool produces non-destructive artifacts (code examples for learning purposes) that can be easily modified or discarded without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Generate detailed before/after code examples' - the verb 'generate' combined with 'create' in the sibling tool names (create_miro_board, generate_session) indicates content creation/writing operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_code_example gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Learning Hour MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_code_example:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"generate_code_example": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "generate_code_example_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}generate_code_example 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.

Generate detailed before/after code examples for a learning topic. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Learning Hour MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Learning Hour MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_code_example: 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 Learning Hour MCP. Nothing to install.
generate_code_example is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_code_example 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 generate_code_example. 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.
generate_code_example is provided by the Learning Hour MCP server (sdiamante13/learning-hour-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Learning Hour MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
