What getEntityNetwork does on Nodebench
AI agents call getEntityNetwork 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 getEntityNetwork is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries relationship data about an entity. While it gathers potentially sensitive business intelligence information (holdings, investor relationships, aliases), it performs no write, destructive, execute, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool returns network graph data including aliases, holdings, people, investors, and related entities - these are information retrieval operations with no modification capability mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getEntityNetwork 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 getEntityNetwork, this is the rule to start with:
getEntityNetwork 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 getEntityNetwork call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about getEntityNetwork
Get the full network graph for an entity: aliases, holdings, people, investors, and related entities. 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 getEntityNetwork: 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.
getEntityNetwork 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 getEntityNetwork 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 getEntityNetwork. 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.
getEntityNetwork 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.
