Why generate_session needs a policy

This tool creates new content artifacts (Learning Hour sessions) that are stored and can be used by teams. While the generated content itself is educational and reversible (sessions can be deleted or regenerated), the act of generating and persisting this content represents a Write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool generates and creates 'comprehensive Learning Hour content' which constitutes new data creation. The verb 'generate' combined with 'creates' in the context description indicates content is being produced and stored.

How to control generate_session

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_session:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_session": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_session_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_session 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Learning Hour MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
