AI agents call interpret_weibull_shape to retrieve information from ReliaStats 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 interpret_weibull_shape 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.

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

What does the interpret_weibull_shape tool do? +

Given a Weibull shape parameter β (and optionally the characteristic-life parameter η), return a plain-language interpretation: which bathtub-curve regime β implies (infant mortality / random / wearout), what action that suggests (process-of-care / steady-state monitoring / maintenance scheduling), and — if η provided — closed-form MTTF and B-life numbers from the Weibull formulas. Pure-math + lookup, no engine call, fully deterministic. Use when a user reports a fitted β and wants to know what to DO with it. ANTI-FABRICATION: MTTF and B-life are exact closed-form values from the two-parameter Weibull (η · Γ(1+1/β) and η · (-ln(1-p))^(1/β)). Quote them verbatim.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ReliaStats MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on interpret_weibull_shape? +

Register the ReliaStats MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for interpret_weibull_shape: 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 ReliaStats. Nothing to install.

What risk level is interpret_weibull_shape? +

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

Can I rate-limit interpret_weibull_shape? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the interpret_weibull_shape 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 interpret_weibull_shape completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for interpret_weibull_shape. 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 interpret_weibull_shape? +

interpret_weibull_shape is provided by the ReliaStats MCP server (https://reliastats.com/mcp/v1). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ReliaStats tool call.
