What test_generate_mocks does on Plugin Hub
AI agents call test_generate_mocks to retrieve information from Plugin Hub without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why test_generate_mocks is rated Low
Even though test_generate_mocks only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs test_generate_mocks safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Plugin Hub, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For test_generate_mocks, this is the rule to start with:
test_generate_mocks 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 Plugin Hub, apply this rule, and every test_generate_mocks call is checked against it from then on.

test_generate_mocks 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 test_generate_mocks 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 test_generate_mocks. 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.
test_generate_mocks is provided by the Plugin Hub MCP server (@barnburner121/plugin-hub-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
