What gbrain_query does on Agent Store
AI agents invoke gbrain_query to trigger actions in Agent Store. 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 gbrain_query is rated High
The name 'gbrain_query' suggests querying a knowledge base or brain system. However, 'query' tools can range from simple reads to executing arbitrary code or commands. Given sibling tools like 'gbrain_think', 'gbrain_search', and 'gbrain_brain_stats', this likely executes some form of reasoning or data retrieval query against the gbrain system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs gbrain_query safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Agent Store, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gbrain_query, this is the rule to start with:
gbrain_query 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Agent Store, apply this rule, and every gbrain_query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about gbrain_query
gbrain_query is a execute tool on the Agent Store MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Agent Store MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Agent Store MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gbrain_query: 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 Agent Store. Nothing to install.
gbrain_query is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gbrain_query 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gbrain_query. 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.
gbrain_query is provided by the Agent Store MCP server (chrisluersen/agent-store). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
