What resume_consumption does on StarTree MCP Server for Apache Pinot

Why resume_consumption needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operational state change on a realtime table — resuming data consumption. It is not merely reading or writing data records, but executing a control-plane action that changes the operational state of a streaming pipeline. Misuse could cause unintended data ingestion, resource consumption spikes, or disrupt carefully managed pause states, making it high severity.

How to control resume_consumption

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and StarTree MCP Server for Apache Pinot, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for resume_consumption:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resume_consumption": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "resume_consumption_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

resume_consumption stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
