WHAT IT DOES

What record_decision does on Metis Public Health

AI agents use record_decision to create or update resources in Metis Public Health, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Metis Public Health environment.

RISK

Why record_decision is rated Medium

Based solely on the name, 'record_decision' most likely writes/persists a decision entry to some local store (similar to sibling tools like 'add_journal_entry', 'add_memory_entry' which are Write operations). No description is available to confirm irreversibility or other elevated risk. Confidence is low due to empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'record_decision'; description is empty or uninformative.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs record_decision safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Metis Public Health, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For record_decision, this is the rule to start with:

record_decision Rate-limited

record_decision 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.
