Current EU VAT rates by member state — standard rate plus reduced/super-reduced/parking/zero rates — from the European Commission TEDB, refreshed regularly. Pass country (ISO 2-letter; Greece is EL) for one state, or omit for all 27. Each result returns standardRate, reducedRates[], every rate category with its percentage, and the date in force. Pairs with tax.vat (number validation). 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 tax.vat-rates: 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.
tax.vat-rates 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 tax.vat-rates 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 tax.vat-rates. 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.
