What getIncomeTax does on API Ninjas
AI agents call getIncomeTax to retrieve information from API Ninjas without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
year | integer | Yes | The tax year for which to retrieve data |
country | string | Yes | 2-letter country code (e.g., US, CA) |
regions | string | — | Comma-separated list of regions to filter the response. For United States, specify 2-letter state codes (e.g., AL, CA, NY) or federal for federal tax informatio |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why getIncomeTax is rated Low
Even though getIncomeTax 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 getIncomeTax safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and API Ninjas, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getIncomeTax, this is the rule to start with:
getIncomeTax 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 API Ninjas, apply this rule, and every getIncomeTax call is checked against it from then on.
