get_scientist_prompts is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_scientist_prompts to retrieve information from Neuro without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_scientist_prompts only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_scientist_prompts only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_scientist_prompts tool do? +

Get example prompts scientists can use for testing brain imaging data. This tool provides ready-to-use prompts for common quality control scenarios when working with Claude and brain imaging datasets. Use these as templates for your own data validation workflows. Returns: Dictionary of example prompts organized by use case Examples: - get_scientist_prompts(). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Neuro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_scientist_prompts? +

Register the Neuro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_scientist_prompts: 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 Neuro. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_scientist_prompts? +

get_scientist_prompts is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_scientist_prompts? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_scientist_prompts 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.

How do I block get_scientist_prompts completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_scientist_prompts. 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.

What MCP server provides get_scientist_prompts? +

get_scientist_prompts is provided by the Neuro MCP server (@brain-bbqs/neuro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Neuro tool call.
