What get_stats does on Busymate DevTools
AI agents call get_stats to retrieve information from Busymate DevTools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_stats is rated Low
This tool retrieves live statistics data in a read-only manner. It has no capacity to modify, execute, delete, or move money. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could access debugging/traffic statistics but cannot cause harm beyond information disclosure. Statistics snapshots are typically non-sensitive operational metrics.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_stats' and description 'Return the live stats snapshot' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_stats safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Busymate DevTools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_stats, this is the rule to start with:
get_stats 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 Busymate DevTools, apply this rule, and every get_stats call is checked against it from then on.
