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

It is categorised as a Write tool in the Torch-to-Crown MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Torch-to-Crown MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for travel_pace: 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 Torch-to-Crown. Nothing to install.
travel_pace 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 travel_pace 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 travel_pace. 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.
travel_pace is provided by the Torch-to-Crown MCP server (Diogenes187/Torch-to-Crown). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
