mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical · MeshSeeks MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical does on MeshSeeks

AI agents use mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical to create or update resources in MeshSeeks — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MeshSeeks environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical needs a policy

An AI agent can call mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in MeshSeeks by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical Rate-limited

mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical 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.

What does the mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical tool do? +

Perform multi-level task decomposition for a swarm session. Creates hierarchical task tree with dependencies. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MeshSeeks MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical? +

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

What risk level is mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical? +

mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical? +

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

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

mesh_swarm_plan_hierarchical is provided by the MeshSeeks MCP server (twalichiewicz/meshseeks). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
