assert_coverage can trigger actions in Space0, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke assert_coverage to trigger processes or run actions in Space0. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

assert_coverage can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access assert_coverage 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 assert_coverage only ever does what you allow.

What does the assert_coverage tool do? +

Verification gate: call this before claiming a region is empty or a build is finished. Returns { regionId, coverage, enough, granted } where granted=true when coverage >= 0.7 -- the validated threshold at which region claims are reliable. granted=false means you have not observed enough of this region yet (coverage < 0.7); keep exploring before concluding. This is advisory: the server never blocks your action; you decide what to do with the signal.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Space0 MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on assert_coverage? +

Register the Space0 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for assert_coverage: 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 Space0. Nothing to install.

What risk level is assert_coverage? +

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

Can I rate-limit assert_coverage? +

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

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

assert_coverage is provided by the Space0 MCP server (https://mcp.0.space/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Space0 tool call.
