What used_with does on Dual Registry
AI agents call used_with to retrieve information from Dual Registry without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why used_with is rated Low
Even though used_with 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.

The rule that runs used_with safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dual Registry, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For used_with, this is the rule to start with:
used_with 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 Dual Registry, apply this rule, and every used_with call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the used_with 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for used_with. 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.
