AI agents invoke revenue_gate to trigger actions in openGlad. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
The tool executes a workflow control action (locking build phases, generating conditional tasks) whose effects depend on user context and business arguments. It does not retrieve data (Read), create/modify reversible records (Write), or permanently delete (Destructive). It is not Financial because it does not move money or commit financial obligations, though it relates to monetization planning.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Locks the build phase and produces...monetization unlock tasks the user must complete' — this triggers external operations that gate development workflows and enforce specific business logic before code execution is permitted.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access revenue_gate gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and openGlad, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for revenue_gate:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"revenue_gate": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "revenue_gate_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}revenue_gate 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.

Locks the build phase and produces 2-3 specific monetization unlock tasks the user must complete before writing code. Use this when the user is eager to start building but hasn. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the openGlad MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the openGlad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revenue_gate: 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 openGlad. Nothing to install.
revenue_gate is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the revenue_gate 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 revenue_gate. 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.
revenue_gate is provided by the openGlad MCP server (tuguberk/openglad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from openGlad, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
