Why validate_diagram_model is rated Low

Tool validates network design models without modifying data, creating resources, or triggering external operations.

From the tool's definition Validate diagram model before export; read-only schema verification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs validate_diagram_model safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and API-Central, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For validate_diagram_model, this is the rule to start with:

validate_diagram_model Allowed

validate_diagram_model is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate_diagram_model": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect API-Central, apply this rule, and every validate_diagram_model call is checked against it from then on.
