Register the TreeBeam MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_period: 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 TreeBeam MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_period is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_period 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 delete_period. 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.
delete_period is provided by the TreeBeam MCP Server MCP server (treebeam-code/tb-mcpserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
