Why fdic_summary is rated Low
This tool retrieves historical financial aggregate data from FDIC sources for macro-level analysis. It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent. The data returned is aggregated public financial information, not sensitive individual records. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool returns 'Industry-level summary financials' and 'year-by-year aggregates across all FDIC-insured institutions' — purely data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs fdic_summary safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Livedatalink, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For fdic_summary, this is the rule to start with:
fdic_summary is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Livedatalink, apply this rule, and every fdic_summary call is checked against it from then on.
