AI agents call gov.fec-totals to retrieve information from Mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries publicly available FEC (Federal Election Commission) financial data for candidates and committees. It performs read-only operations (filtering and aggregating existing data) with no side effects, data modifications, code execution, or financial transactions. The tool simply surfaces aggregate totals from a public data source, analogous to searching FEC.gov directly.
From the tool's definition FEC aggregate financial totals (receipts, disbursements, cash-on-hand, debt, etc.) for candidates (scope=candidates) or committees (scope=committees). Filter by candidate/committee ID, cycle, office, party, state, district.

FEC aggregate financial totals (receipts, disbursements, cash-on-hand, debt, etc.) for candidates (scope=candidates) or committees (scope=committees). Filter by candidate/committee ID, cycle, office, party, state, district. For candidates, electionFull=true rolls all cycles of one election into a row. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gov.fec-totals: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp. Nothing to install.
gov.fec-totals 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 gov.fec-totals 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 gov.fec-totals. 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.
gov.fec-totals is provided by the MCP server (@2sio/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
