AI agents use session_restore to create or modify resources in Session Forge. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call session_restore repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Session Forge.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

What does the session_restore tool do? +

Check for interrupted work from a previous session. Call this FIRST at the start of any session.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Session Forge MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on session_restore? +

Register the Session Forge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for session_restore: 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 session_restore? +

session_restore is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit session_restore? +

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

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

session_restore 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.
