RISK

Why fda_recalls is rated Low

Even though fda_recalls 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs fda_recalls safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For fda_recalls, this is the rule to start with:

fda_recalls Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every fda_recalls call is checked against it from then on.
