AI agents call kb_related to retrieve information from Protectwith Kb 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 kb_related 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 kb_related only ever does what you allow.

What does the kb_related tool do? +

Traverse typed relationships from an entity. Read-only.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Protectwith Kb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on kb_related? +

Register the Protectwith Kb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for kb_related: 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 Protectwith Kb. Nothing to install.

What risk level is kb_related? +

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

Can I rate-limit kb_related? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the kb_related 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 kb_related completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for kb_related. 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 kb_related? +

kb_related is provided by the Protectwith Kb MCP server (https://protectwith-kb.burademirung.workers.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Protectwith Kb tool call.
