What vacuum_zones does on Tolpo
AI agents use vacuum_zones to create or update resources in Tolpo, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tolpo environment.
Why vacuum_zones is rated Medium
An AI agent can call vacuum_zones faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Tolpo by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs vacuum_zones safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tolpo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For vacuum_zones, this is the rule to start with:
vacuum_zones 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tolpo, apply this rule, and every vacuum_zones call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about vacuum_zones

Register the Tolpo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vacuum_zones: 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 Tolpo. Nothing to install.
vacuum_zones 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 vacuum_zones 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 vacuum_zones. 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.
vacuum_zones is provided by the Tolpo MCP server (signerless/tolpo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
