build_research_digest

Generate a digest of new (unseen) articles from RSS feeds. Compares against previously seen articles via SQLite. Returns only new items grouped by category. After generating, articles are marked as seen so the next digest only shows truly new content. Output formats: markdown (default), json, or ...

Part of the Nodebench server.

build_research_digest can trigger actions in Nodebench, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke build_research_digest to trigger processes or run actions in Nodebench. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

build_research_digest can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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

What does the build_research_digest tool do? +

Generate a digest of new (unseen) articles from RSS feeds. Compares against previously seen articles via SQLite. Returns only new items grouped by category. After generating, articles are marked as seen so the next digest only shows truly new content. Output formats: markdown (default), json, or html (ready for send_email).. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on build_research_digest? +

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

What risk level is build_research_digest? +

build_research_digest is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit build_research_digest? +

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

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

build_research_digest is provided by the Nodebench MCP server (nodebench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Nodebench tool call.
