AI agents use select_synth to create or modify resources in u-he Preset Randomizer. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call select_synth repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach u-he Preset Randomizer.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access select_synth gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Select a synth and load its preset library. MUST be called before other preset tools. Optional pattern filters which presets are loaded (for faster loading with large libraries). Trade-off: filtered loading is faster but limits subsequent operations to only those presets until reloaded. Omit pattern for full library access (recommended unless library is very large).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the u-he Preset Randomizer MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the u-he Preset Randomizer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for select_synth: 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 u-he Preset Randomizer. Nothing to install.
select_synth 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 select_synth 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 select_synth. 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.
select_synth is provided by the u-he Preset Randomizer MCP server (u-he-preset-randomizer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
