fit_predict_classification

Fit a time series classifier on training data and predict class labels on test data. Use with classification estimators like RocketClassifier, HIVECOTEV2, etc.

What fit_predict_classification does on Sktime

AI agents invoke fit_predict_classification to trigger actions in Sktime. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why fit_predict_classification needs a policy

The tool executes a machine learning workflow (fit + predict) on provided data. This is an Execute-category action: it runs computation and produces outputs, but does not delete data, move money, or irreversibly modify state. Misuse could cause incorrect predictions or waste compute resources, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Fit a time series classifier on training data and predict class labels on test data' — trains a model and runs predictions, triggering external ML computation whose effects depend on the estimator and data provided.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access fit_predict_classification gives an agent:

How to control fit_predict_classification

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sktime, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fit_predict_classification:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fit_predict_classification": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fit_predict_classification_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fit_predict_classification stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Sktime — 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.

Questions about fit_predict_classification

What does the fit_predict_classification tool do? +

Fit a time series classifier on training data and predict class labels on test data. Use with classification estimators like RocketClassifier, HIVECOTEV2, etc. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Sktime MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on fit_predict_classification? +

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

What risk level is fit_predict_classification? +

fit_predict_classification is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit fit_predict_classification? +

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

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

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

Enforce policy on every Sktime tool call.

Start from Sktime, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
