Low Risk

petri_application

Generate a complete full-stack application from an Application specification. This accepts the high-level Application DSL with entities, roles, pages, and workflows.

Part of the Pflow MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call petri_application to retrieve information from Pflow without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though petri_application only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the petri_application tool do? +

Generate a complete full-stack application from an Application specification. This accepts the high-level Application DSL with entities, roles, pages, and workflows.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pflow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on petri_application? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for petri_application. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Pflow MCP server.

What risk level is petri_application? +

petri_application is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit petri_application? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the petri_application rule in your Intercept 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 petri_application completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for petri_application. 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 petri_application? +

petri_application is provided by the Pflow MCP server (stackdump/pflow-pilot). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
