What lookup_word_count does on GoCreative Agent API
AI agents call lookup_word_count to retrieve information from GoCreative Agent API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

query_string | string | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why lookup_word_count is rated Low
This is a pure data retrieval and analysis tool that measures properties of supplied text without creating, modifying, executing code, or destroying data. The low cost ($0.005–$0.05) and writing-assistant use case further confirm it performs lightweight, stateless text analysis. Misuse risk is minimal even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Count words, sentences, and reading time for a text' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution. The example call passes text as a read-only query parameter. No side effects described.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs lookup_word_count safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoCreative Agent API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For lookup_word_count, this is the rule to start with:
lookup_word_count 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 GoCreative Agent API, apply this rule, and every lookup_word_count call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about lookup_word_count

Example call: {"query_string": "text=hello+world"} Cost: $0.005–$0.05 USDC on Base per call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GoCreative Agent API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
lookup_word_count accepts 1 parameter: query_string. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the GoCreative Agent API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for lookup_word_count: 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 GoCreative Agent API. Nothing to install.
lookup_word_count 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 lookup_word_count 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 lookup_word_count. 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.
lookup_word_count is provided by the GoCreative Agent API MCP server (https://api.gocreativeai.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
