WHAT IT DOES

What brain_ask does on 2ndm1nd Runtime

AI agents call brain_ask to retrieve information from 2ndm1nd Runtime without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why brain_ask is rated Low

Even though brain_ask only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs brain_ask safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 2ndm1nd Runtime, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For brain_ask, this is the rule to start with:

brain_ask Allowed

brain_ask is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 2ndm1nd Runtime, apply this rule, and every brain_ask call is checked against it from then on.
