What new_catalog does on Baidu Map
AI agents call new_catalog as a supporting operation in Baidu Map workflows.
Why new_catalog is rated Low
The description is essentially empty ('string'), providing no actionable information about what this tool does. The name 'new_catalog' on a Baidu Map API server might suggest creating a new catalog or category entry (Write), but given the mapping/geo context and the complete lack of description, confidence is very low. Defaulting to Other due to insufficient evidence, while acknowledging it could be Write.
From the tool's definition Tool description is empty/uninformative: only 'string' is provided as the description. Tool name 'new_catalog' could imply writing a new catalog entry, but without a meaningful description, the exact behavior cannot be determined.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs new_catalog safely

new_catalog gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Baidu Map, apply this rule, and every new_catalog call is checked against it from then on.
