What goals does on Businys
AI agents call goals to retrieve information from Businys without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why goals is rated Low
The tool appears to query or retrieve client goals information based on its name and minimal description. The lack of action verbs and the business context (independent professionals managing clients) suggests this is a data retrieval operation with no side effects. Confidence is moderate due to the extremely brief description providing limited explicit detail about the tool's actual behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'goals' with description 'Client' suggests retrieval of client goal data. No verbs indicating modification (create, update, delete) or execution are present.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs goals safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Businys, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For goals, this is the rule to start with:
goals is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Businys, apply this rule, and every goals call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about goals
Client. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Businys MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Businys MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for goals: 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 Businys. Nothing to install.
goals 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 goals 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 goals. 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.
goals is provided by the Businys MCP server (@businys/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
