WHAT IT DOES

What audited-tool does on Frontmcp

AI agents call audited-tool as a supporting operation in Frontmcp workflows.

RISK

Why audited-tool is rated Low

The description only states that this tool is subject to audit plugin hooks — it says nothing about what the tool actually does (read, write, execute, delete, financial). 'Audited' describes a cross-cutting observability concern, not the tool's primary action. Without any indication of the underlying operation, this cannot be reliably assigned to a functional category.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs audited-tool safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Frontmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For audited-tool, this is the rule to start with:

audited-tool Rate-limited

audited-tool gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
