AI agents use unsuppress to create or update resources in Astrograph — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Astrograph environment.
This tool modifies suppression rules/metadata rather than reading data (Read), executing arbitrary operations (Execute), or irreversibly deleting core data (Destructive). Unsuppressing a hash reverses a prior suppression, making it a Write operation.
From the tool's definition The tool 'unsuppress' modifies suppression state by removing a suppression rule for a code hash. The description explicitly indicates it performs an action ('Unsuppress') that changes the configuration or state of suppressions, which is a reversible…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unsuppress gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Astrograph, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for unsuppress:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unsuppress": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "unsuppress_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}unsuppress 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.

Unsuppress a hash. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Astrograph MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Astrograph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unsuppress: 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 Astrograph. Nothing to install.
unsuppress is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unsuppress 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 unsuppress. 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.
unsuppress is provided by the Astrograph MCP server (thaylo/astrograph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Astrograph, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
