convert_ezdesignx_network

Convert an ezdesignX v1 JSON or JSONC intersection file into SUMO network artifacts.

How to control convert_ezdesignx_network ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates or generates new network artifacts in the SUMO simulation system based on input files. While it does not delete or irreversibly destroy data (Destructive), nor does it execute arbitrary commands or code (Execute), it does write/create new simulation network configurations.

From the tool's definition Tool 'convert_ezdesignx_network' converts an input file into SUMO network artifacts. The verb 'convert' combined with 'into SUMO network artifacts' indicates creation or transformation of network configuration data.

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

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

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

convert_ezdesignx_network 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 SUMO-MCP Server — 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 convert_ezdesignx_network tool do? +

Convert an ezdesignX v1 JSON or JSONC intersection file into SUMO network artifacts. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SUMO-MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on convert_ezdesignx_network? +

Register the SUMO-MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for convert_ezdesignx_network: 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 SUMO-MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is convert_ezdesignx_network? +

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

Can I rate-limit convert_ezdesignx_network? +

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

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

convert_ezdesignx_network is provided by the SUMO-MCP Server MCP server (xrds76354/sumo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SUMO-MCP Server tool call.
