WHAT IT DOES

What redirectCheck does on Mcp

AI agents call redirectCheck to retrieve information from Mcp 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
`url`	string	Yes	Target URL
`proxyCountry`	string	—	Country code for proxy routing

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why redirectCheck is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query of URL redirect behavior. It gathers information about how a URL redirects without side effects, making it a Read category tool. The severity is low because misuse (e.g., checking many redirects) has minimal blast radius—it may consume resources but cannot alter systems or data.

From the tool's definition The tool 'redirectCheck' is described as checking 'the redirect chain of a URL' — it retrieves and inspects HTTP redirect information without modifying, deleting, or executing code. This is a passive inspection operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs redirectCheck safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For redirectCheck, this is the rule to start with:

redirectCheck Allowed

redirectCheck is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "redirectCheck": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp, apply this rule, and every redirectCheck call is checked against it from then on.
