# load_tender_fraud_shield

Screen a carrier before accepting or dispatching a load. Resolves the carrier and combines FMCSA authority, insurance, safety, sanctions, court, and federal-award evidence with the supplied tender context. Flags inactive authority, missing liability evidence, sanctions or litigation findings, broker-only records, and mismatches between the carrier's reported location and the tender contact address. Returns CLEAR, REVIEW, or BLOCK with reasons, source coverage, primary links, and a dispatcher verification checklist. This is an analytical fraud-screening aid, not a substitute for direct FMCSA or insurance verification.

## Why load_tender_fraud_shield is rated Low

Even though load_tender_fraud_shield 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.

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Livedatalink:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "load_tender_fraud_shield": {}
  }
}
```
