retire_signal

UNLEARN a KB signal that became false/obsolete (e.g. a rumored feature cancelled, or a signal no longer predictive). Soft-deletes it (active=false) so it stops grounding assessments immediately — recoverable. Operator-only. Find the id via list_kb_signals.

Part of the Doom server.

retire_signal is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call retire_signal to retrieve information from Doom without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though retire_signal only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so retire_signal only ever does what you allow.

What does the retire_signal tool do? +

UNLEARN a KB signal that became false/obsolete (e.g. a rumored feature cancelled, or a signal no longer predictive). Soft-deletes it (active=false) so it stops grounding assessments immediately — recoverable. Operator-only. Find the id via list_kb_signals.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Doom MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on retire_signal? +

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

What risk level is retire_signal? +

retire_signal is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit retire_signal? +

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

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

retire_signal is provided by the Doom MCP server (https://mcp.doomscore.vc). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Doom tool call.
