What get_speed_histogram does on Cloudflare
AI agents call get_speed_histogram to retrieve information from Cloudflare without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_speed_histogram is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves historical speed test analytics (histogram data showing distribution of bandwidth, latency, or jitter metrics). It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. The action is purely observational—fetching pre-computed statistical data about network performance.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_speed_histogram' and description 'Get speed test histogram data. Shows distribution of speed test results' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_speed_histogram safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cloudflare, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_speed_histogram, this is the rule to start with:
get_speed_histogram 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 Cloudflare, apply this rule, and every get_speed_histogram call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_speed_histogram
Get speed test histogram data. Shows distribution of speed test results for bandwidth, latency, or jitter. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cloudflare MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cloudflare MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_speed_histogram: 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 Cloudflare. Nothing to install.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_speed_histogram 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_speed_histogram. 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.
