What get_benchmark_history does on Nodebench
AI agents call get_benchmark_history to retrieve information from Nodebench without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_benchmark_history is rated Low
This tool retrieves and displays historical data (RCA and PRR trends) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The verb 'View' and absence of any write/destructive/execute/financial language clearly indicate a Read category. Severity is low because viewing historical metrics poses minimal risk to system integrity or operations, even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'View historical benchmark batch results' — a read-only retrieval operation with no mention of modification, deletion, or side effects. It displays trends and analysis of existing benchmark data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_benchmark_history safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_benchmark_history, this is the rule to start with:
get_benchmark_history 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 Nodebench, apply this rule, and every get_benchmark_history call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_benchmark_history
View historical benchmark batch results. Shows RCA and PRR trends over time. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_benchmark_history: 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.
get_benchmark_history 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 get_benchmark_history 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 get_benchmark_history. 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.
get_benchmark_history 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.
