AI agents call get_law_text to retrieve information from Fedlex Connector without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_law_text only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Retrieve the official consolidated text of a Swiss federal act (or a specific title/chapter) directly from Fedlex (fedlex.admin.ch). This is the PRIMARY tool for answering Swiss law questions — always start here. Fetch the full act or a specific section, then locate relevant provisions in the returned text. Prefer this over get_article unless you already know the exact article number.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Fedlex Connector MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Fedlex Connector MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_law_text: 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 Fedlex Connector. Nothing to install.
get_law_text 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 get_law_text 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 get_law_text. 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.
get_law_text is provided by the Fedlex Connector MCP server (https://mcp.fedlex-connector.ch/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
