Why assign-ids needs a policy

This tool performs creation/modification of object ID assignments, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code or delete data (Destructive), does not move money (Financial), and does not execute external operations with side effects dependent on arguments (Execute).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'assign-ids' and description 'Interactively assign object IDs with collision checking' indicate the tool creates or modifies object ID assignments.

How to control assign-ids

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for assign-ids:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "assign-ids": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "assign-ids_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

assign-ids stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
