WHAT IT DOES

What econ.recession does on Mcp

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

RISK

Why econ.recession is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves financial/economic data without any capability to modify, delete, execute code, or move money. It aggregates publicly available recession indicators into a dashboard format. The 'read-only' nature is explicitly confirmed in the description.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it is 'A read of the standard gauges, not a forecast' and retrieves composite data (NY Fed recession probability, Sahm-rule indicator, Treasury spread) from FRED.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs econ.recession safely

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

econ.recession Allowed

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

}

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

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