AI agents call petri_code_to_flow 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_code_to_flow 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access petri_code_to_flow gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Convert source code into a formal Petri net model. Analyzes code structure (control flow, state machines, resource management, concurrency) and produces an executable, verifiable Petri net — not just a diagram.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pflow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pflow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for petri_code_to_flow: 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 Pflow. Nothing to install.
petri_code_to_flow is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the petri_code_to_flow 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for petri_code_to_flow. 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.
petri_code_to_flow is provided by the Pflow MCP server (stackdump/pflow-pilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
