AI agents use intel_agent to create or modify resources in TunnelMind Data API. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call intel_agent repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach TunnelMind Data API.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access intel_agent gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the intel_agent tool do? +

Probes a domain for known AI agent integration signals: llms.txt, ai.txt, /.well-known/ai-plugin.json, openapi.json, swagger.json, MCP manifest, MCP SSE endpoint. Returns a score based on the count of signals detected. Use this to assess whether a domain is ready for agent-to-agent interaction. Use this tool when: - You want to know whether a domain exposes an MCP server or OpenAPI spec for agents. - You are cataloguing the AI-agent-ready surface of a set of domains. - You need to decide whether to attempt programmatic API access to a domain. Do NOT use this tool when: - You need tracker/surveillance data about the domain — use get_domain instead. - You need the robots.txt AI crawler policy — use intel_robots instead. - You need HTTP security posture — use intel_http instead. Inputs: - domain (query, required): Domain to probe. Returns: - Boolean flags per signal (llms_txt, ai_plugin, openapi, mcp_manifest, mcp_endpoint, mcp_sse). - agent_surface_score: integer 0-8, count of signals detected. Cost: - Free. No API key required. Latency: - Typical: 2-5s (parallel probes), p99: 8s.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the TunnelMind Data API MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on intel_agent? +

Register the TunnelMind Data API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for intel_agent: 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 TunnelMind Data API. Nothing to install.

What risk level is intel_agent? +

intel_agent is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit intel_agent? +

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

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

intel_agent is provided by the TunnelMind Data API MCP server (https://mcp-data.tunnelmind.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every TunnelMind Data API tool call.
