Why generate_speech needs a policy

The name 'generate_speech' suggests text-to-speech or audio generation, which would be a Write/Execute operation, but the description is completely empty. Given the server context (code analysis, Gemini AI), this likely generates audio output. Without a description, confidence is very low. Defaulting to Other due to insufficient information, though it could be Write if it saves audio files.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty; no information provided about what this tool does beyond its name 'generate_speech'.

How to control generate_speech

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_speech": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_speech_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_speech gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

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

What risk level is generate_speech? +

generate_speech is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit generate_speech? +

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

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

generate_speech is provided by the Gpal MCP server (tobert/gpal). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Gpal tool call.

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