AI agents call openmandate_verify_contact to retrieve information from OpenMandate 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 openmandate_verify_contact 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.

Verify a contact by submitting the OTP code sent to it. The user must check their email for the 8-digit code. After verification, the contact can be used on mandates.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenMandate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OpenMandate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for openmandate_verify_contact: 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 OpenMandate. Nothing to install.
openmandate_verify_contact is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the openmandate_verify_contact 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 openmandate_verify_contact. 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.
openmandate_verify_contact is provided by the OpenMandate MCP server (https://mcp.openmandate.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
