WHAT IT DOES

What pull_competitor_ads does on Hermoso

AI agents call pull_competitor_ads to retrieve information from Hermoso without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why pull_competitor_ads is rated Low

Even though pull_competitor_ads 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pull_competitor_ads safely

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

pull_competitor_ads Allowed

pull_competitor_ads is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pull_competitor_ads": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hermoso, apply this rule, and every pull_competitor_ads call is checked against it from then on.
