no_critical_gaps

No CRITICAL or HIGH gaps remain open

Part of the Nodebench server.

no_critical_gaps is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call no_critical_gaps to retrieve information from Nodebench 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 no_critical_gaps 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 no_critical_gaps gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the no_critical_gaps tool do? +

No CRITICAL or HIGH gaps remain open. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on no_critical_gaps? +

Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for no_critical_gaps: 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 no_critical_gaps? +

no_critical_gaps is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit no_critical_gaps? +

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

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

no_critical_gaps 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.
