AI agents call data_catalogue to retrieve information from FXMacroData 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 data_catalogue 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access data_catalogue gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

List every macroeconomic indicator FXMacroData publishes for a currency, with units and frequency. ALWAYS call this first when the user asks about a country's macro data — it returns the exact indicator slug strings to pass to indicator_query, release_calendar, and indicator_visual_artifact. Cheap, cacheable, and safe to call on every new conversation. Supported currencies (lowercase 3-letter codes): AED, ARS, AUD, BOB, BRL, CAD, CHF, CLP, COP, CZK, DKK, DZD, EGP, EUR, GBP, HKD, HUF, IDR, ILS, INR, JPY, MAD, MXN, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, PHP, PKR, PLN, RUB, SAR, SEK, THB, TRY, TWD, USD, UYU, VND.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FXMacroData MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FXMacroData MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for data_catalogue: 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 FXMacroData. Nothing to install.
data_catalogue 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 data_catalogue 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 data_catalogue. 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.
data_catalogue is provided by the FXMacroData MCP server (https://fxmacrodata.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
