Why request_quote is rated Medium
This tool submits a quote request (creates a record/transaction) with buyer contact information. It does not directly move money or commit a financial obligation — it only initiates a sales follow-up process out-of-band. This makes it a Write operation (creating a quote request) rather than Financial. However, misuse could expose buyer contact info or generate unwanted sales outreach, warranting medium severity.

The rule that runs request_quote safely

request_quote stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Filtrous MCP Catalog Server, apply this rule, and every request_quote call is checked against it from then on.
