Start, resume, edit, improve, or complete a tracked OrgX planning session. Per-action input requirements: • action="start" → REQUIRES feature_name.

How to control orgx_plan ↓

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

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
action string Planning action to perform. See top-level description for per-action required fields.
_context object Client context for conversation tracking (strongly recommended for cross-client continuity)
attach_to object Optional target to link the completed plan to when action=complete. Shape: { entity_type: "initiative" | "workstream" | "task", entity_id: string }.
session_id string Plan session UUID or orgx://plan_session/<uuid> URI. REQUIRED for action=resume | improve | record_edit | complete. Omit for action=start.
edit_summary string One-line description of the change being recorded. REQUIRED when action=record_edit.
feature_name string Feature or plan name. REQUIRED when action=start.
initial_plan string Markdown plan content to seed the new session. Optional on action=start; the session can also be started empty and filled via improve/record_edit.
plan_content string Current/final plan markdown. REQUIRED when action=improve (the draft to critique) or action=complete (the final accepted plan).
idempotency_key string Optional idempotency key for safe retries. Same key returns the same result without creating duplicate session state.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Medium Risk

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

Risk signalsHigh parameter count (25 properties)

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access orgx_plan gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OrgX, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for orgx_plan:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "orgx_plan": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "orgx_plan_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

orgx_plan 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.

  1. Create a free account and register OrgX — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the orgx_plan tool do? +

Start, resume, edit, improve, or complete a tracked OrgX planning session. Per-action input requirements: • action="start" → REQUIRES feature_name. Optional: initial_plan (markdown to seed the session). • action="resume" → REQUIRES session_id. • action="improve" → REQUIRES session_id AND plan_content (the current draft to critique). • action="record_edit" → REQUIRES session_id AND edit_summary (one-line description of the change). • action="complete" → REQUIRES session_id AND plan_content (the final accepted plan). Optional: attach_to (target entity to link the completed plan to). USE WHEN: work is still in planning or should become executable context. NEXT: use orgx_write or orgx_act after the plan is accepted and needs durable execution state. DO NOT USE WHEN: directly scaffolding a full initiative hierarchy; use scaffold_initiative for that compatibility path. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OrgX MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does orgx_plan accept? +

orgx_plan accepts 9 parameters: action, _context, attach_to, session_id, edit_summary, feature_name, initial_plan, plan_content, idempotency_key. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on orgx_plan? +

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

What risk level is orgx_plan? +

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

Can I rate-limit orgx_plan? +

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

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

orgx_plan is provided by the OrgX MCP server (useorgx/orgx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OrgX tool call.
