WHAT CAN GO WRONG

Write operations (edgar_filings_by_form_type, entity_resolve, epa_water_or_air_violations) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

Execute tools (edgar_recent_filings, entity_dossier, patent_recent) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

RECOMMENDED RULES

Rate limit write operations

{
  "edgar_filings_by_form_type": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "edgar_filings_by_form_type_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "air_quality": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "air_quality_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

FAQ

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Livedatalink? +

The Livedatalink server has 4 write tools including edgar_filings_by_form_type, entity_resolve, epa_water_or_air_violations. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Livedatalink.

How many tools does the Livedatalink MCP server expose? +

177 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 169 are read-only. 8 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Livedatalink? +

Register the Livedatalink MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
