strale_execute can trigger actions in Strale, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke strale_execute to trigger processes or run actions in Strale. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

strale_execute can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so strale_execute only ever does what you allow.

What does the strale_execute tool do? +

Executes a Strale capability by slug and returns the result. Use this when you need to perform any verification, validation, lookup, or data extraction from the 271-capability registry. Call strale_search first to find the right slug and required input fields. Returns a result object with the capability output, quality score (SQS), latency, price charged, and data provenance. Five free capabilities work without an API key (10/day limit). Paid capabilities debit from the wallet — check strale_balance first for high-value calls.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Strale MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on strale_execute? +

Register the Strale MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for strale_execute: 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 Strale. Nothing to install.

What risk level is strale_execute? +

strale_execute is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit strale_execute? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the strale_execute 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.

How do I block strale_execute completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for strale_execute. 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 strale_execute? +

strale_execute is provided by the Strale MCP server (strale-io/strale). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Strale tool call.
