What batch-assign does on AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server

AI agents use batch-assign to create or update resources in AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server environment.

Why batch-assign needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies ID assignments for Business Central development objects, which is a reversible write operation. While it could cause development conflicts if misused (assigning IDs that collide with existing ones despite safeguards), the operation is not destructive (IDs can be reassigned) and does not involve code execution, deletion, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'batch-assign' and description 'Batch assign IDs for multiple object types' indicate creation/modification of ID assignments in the AL Object ID system.

How to control batch-assign

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 batch-assign:

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

batch-assign 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.

  1. Create a free account and register AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server — 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.
