Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_market_intel safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_market_intel, this is the rule to start with:
get_market_intel 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 Mcp Server, apply this rule, and every get_market_intel call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_market_intel
Use this when the user asks about a data-center market (metro supply, operators, pipeline, pricing): facility count, tracked MW, status mix, top providers, recent facilities or lease pricing. Pass market as a slug (e.g. northern-virginia). Returns stats, by_status, top_providers, recent_facilities, market_pricing (quote its basis). Verdict: use get_market_dcpi_rank. Keyless: a trimmed preview; a free key gets more. Ex: "1 MW colo price in Los Angeles?" Get the market slug from rank_markets or get_market_dcpi_rank; 404 = unrecognised market, use one of those slugs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
