What wait does on Scopa

AI agents call wait to retrieve information from Scopa without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why wait needs a policy

The tool only waits/polls for a game state condition (whose turn it is) and returns status information. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not trigger any external operations. It is purely a synchronization/read operation.

From the tool's definition Block until it is your turn to play. Returns immediately if it already is.

Questions about wait

What does the wait tool do? +

Block until it is your turn to play. Returns immediately if it already is. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scopa MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on wait? +

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

What risk level is wait? +

Can I rate-limit wait? +

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

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

wait is provided by the Scopa MCP server (seboostian02/scopa-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
