process_launch · Evaluar MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What process_launch does on Evaluar MCP Server

AI agents invoke process_launch to trigger actions in Evaluar MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why process_launch needs a policy

process_launch performs an action that initiates a recruitment process on an external platform—this is an external operation trigger, not merely data retrieval (Read) or simple modification (Write). The tool's effect depends on which process is being launched and its configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool launches an eTalent recruitment process ('Launch an eTalent process'), which triggers external operations on the Evaluar platform whose effects depend on the process state and arguments passed.

Verdict

process_launch Rate-limited

process_launch stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about process_launch

What does the process_launch tool do? +

Launch an eTalent process. The process must have a position assigned first. Returns the summary URL. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Evaluar MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on process_launch? +

Register the Evaluar MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for process_launch: 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 Evaluar MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is process_launch? +

process_launch is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit process_launch? +

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

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

process_launch is provided by the Evaluar MCP Server MCP server (yarmijosp94/evaluar-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
