What get_top_gaps does on Ddmarketer
AI agents call get_top_gaps to retrieve information from Ddmarketer 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Max gaps to return (1-25, default 10). |
category | string | — | Optional exact category filter. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_top_gaps is rated Low
Even though get_top_gaps 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_top_gaps safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ddmarketer, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_top_gaps, this is the rule to start with:
get_top_gaps is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ddmarketer, apply this rule, and every get_top_gaps call is checked against it from then on.
