What timeline does on Businys
AI agents call timeline 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 timeline is rated Low
The tool appears designed to retrieve or display timeline information without side effects. However, confidence is moderate (0.6) due to the vague description—'Desired timeline' could theoretically describe a write operation (setting/updating a timeline) if the underlying implementation performs modifications.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'timeline' with description 'Desired timeline' suggests retrieval or querying of timeline/scheduling data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs timeline 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 timeline, this is the rule to start with:
timeline 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 timeline call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about timeline
Desired timeline. 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 timeline: 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.
timeline 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 timeline 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 timeline. 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.
timeline 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.
