What getDealFlow does on Nodebench
AI agents call getDealFlow 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 getDealFlow is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries deal flow pipeline information—a typical read operation with no side effects. However, the sensitivity is elevated to 'medium' because the data returned (funding events, company valuations, investment signals) is financially sensitive competitive intelligence that could be misused to manipulate markets, front-run investments, or breach confidentiality agreements if accessed without…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getDealFlow' and description 'Get the current deal flow pipeline' indicate a retrieval operation. The description explicitly uses 'Get', which is a read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getDealFlow 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 getDealFlow, this is the rule to start with:
getDealFlow 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 getDealFlow call is checked against it from then on.
