Why warehouse_auto_optimize needs a policy

This tool automatically applies fixes to a Fabric Warehouse without requiring per-fix confirmation. While described as 'safe fixes,' it executes automated changes across potentially many items in bulk. This is Execute (triggering external operations) rather than Write because it runs an autonomous optimization pipeline whose effects depend on what issues are found.

From the tool's definition 'Scans a Fabric Warehouse for all fixable issues and applies all safe fixes automatically'

POLICY

How to control warehouse_auto_optimize

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "warehouse_auto_optimize": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "warehouse_auto_optimize_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

warehouse_auto_optimize 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.

Create a free account and register Force Fabric MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about warehouse_auto_optimize

What does the warehouse_auto_optimize tool do? +

AUTO-OPTIMIZE: Scans a Fabric Warehouse for all fixable issues and applies all safe fixes automatically. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on warehouse_auto_optimize? +

Register the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for warehouse_auto_optimize: 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 Force Fabric MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is warehouse_auto_optimize? +

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

Can I rate-limit warehouse_auto_optimize? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the warehouse_auto_optimize 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 warehouse_auto_optimize completely? +

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

warehouse_auto_optimize is provided by the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP server (tmdaidevs/force-fabric-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Force Fabric MCP Server tool call.

Start from Force Fabric MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
