What proma_knowledge_read does on DutyDeck
AI agents call proma_knowledge_read to retrieve information from DutyDeck without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why proma_knowledge_read is rated Low
Even though proma_knowledge_read 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 proma_knowledge_read safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DutyDeck, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For proma_knowledge_read, this is the rule to start with:
proma_knowledge_read 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 DutyDeck, apply this rule, and every proma_knowledge_read call is checked against it from then on.

proma_knowledge_read is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the proma_knowledge_read 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 proma_knowledge_read. 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.
