get_risk_signals

Get all tokens with active ZARQ warnings. Returns the full list of 205 monitored tokens with their risk level (SAFE/WATCH/WARNING/CRITICAL), trust score, structural weakness count, and NDD score. Filter to see only tokens with active warnings or structural collapse alerts. Example: get_risk_signa...

Part of the Zarq server.

get_risk_signals is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_risk_signals to retrieve information from Zarq without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_risk_signals only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_risk_signals only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_risk_signals tool do? +

Get all tokens with active ZARQ warnings. Returns the full list of 205 monitored tokens with their risk level (SAFE/WATCH/WARNING/CRITICAL), trust score, structural weakness count, and NDD score. Filter to see only tokens with active warnings or structural collapse alerts. Example: get_risk_signals() or get_risk_signals(level='CRITICAL'). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zarq MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_risk_signals? +

Register the Zarq MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_risk_signals: 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 Zarq. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_risk_signals? +

get_risk_signals is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_risk_signals? +

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

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

get_risk_signals is provided by the Zarq MCP server (agentidx/zarq-risk). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Zarq tool call.
