tech_stack

Classify a company's public tech footprint by inspecting MX / A / CNAME / NS / TXT records. Returns detections across categories (email_provider, hosting_provider, cdn_provider, dns_provider, SaaS tools via TXT) with vendor evidence on every detection. Non-intrusive — only looks at DNS the domain...

Part of the Ready APIs server.

tech_stack is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call tech_stack to retrieve information from Ready APIs without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though tech_stack only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access tech_stack gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so tech_stack only ever does what you allow.

What does the tech_stack tool do? +

Classify a company's public tech footprint by inspecting MX / A / CNAME / NS / TXT records. Returns detections across categories (email_provider, hosting_provider, cdn_provider, dns_provider, SaaS tools via TXT) with vendor evidence on every detection. Non-intrusive — only looks at DNS the domain owner published.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ready APIs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on tech_stack? +

Register the Ready APIs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tech_stack: 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 Ready APIs. Nothing to install.

What risk level is tech_stack? +

tech_stack is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit tech_stack? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tech_stack 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.

How do I block tech_stack completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for tech_stack. 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.

What MCP server provides tech_stack? +

tech_stack is provided by the Ready APIs MCP server (https://readyapis.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ready APIs tool call.
