decision_record

Record a significant decision made during development. Helps future sessions understand why choices were made.

Part of the Session Forge server.

decision_record is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call decision_record to retrieve information from Session Forge without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though decision_record only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access decision_record gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so decision_record only ever does what you allow.

What does the decision_record tool do? +

Record a significant decision made during development. Helps future sessions understand why choices were made.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Session Forge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on decision_record? +

Register the Session Forge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for decision_record: 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 Session Forge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is decision_record? +

decision_record is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit decision_record? +

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

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

decision_record is provided by the Session Forge MCP server (session-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Session Forge tool call.
