WHAT IT DOES

What query_type does on Baidu Map

AI agents call query_type to retrieve information from Baidu Map without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why query_type is rated Low

Based on context (Baidu Map API with sibling tools like 'address', 'city', 'area', 'business'), this appears to be a data retrieval/lookup tool. The name implies type classification or metadata queries rather than mutations or destructive actions. However, confidence is moderate due to the lack of descriptive detail in the tool description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_type' suggests a query or lookup operation; description is uninformative (empty string or 'string').

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs query_type safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Baidu Map, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For query_type, this is the rule to start with:

query_type Allowed

query_type is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "query_type": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Baidu Map, apply this rule, and every query_type call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on query_type? +

Can I rate-limit query_type? +

How do I block query_type completely? +

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