Part of the Graphql Rest Bridge server.

graphql_parser 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 graphql_parser to retrieve information from Graphql Rest Bridge 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 graphql_parser 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 graphql_parser 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 graphql_parser only ever does what you allow.

What does the graphql_parser tool do? +

Parse a GraphQL query string. Returns operationType (query/mutation/subscription), top-level field names, fragment definitions, variable declarations, and nesting depth.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Graphql Rest Bridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on graphql_parser? +

Register the Graphql Rest Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for graphql_parser: 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 Graphql Rest Bridge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is graphql_parser? +

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

Can I rate-limit graphql_parser? +

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

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

graphql_parser is provided by the Graphql Rest Bridge MCP server (https://api.lazy-mac.com/graphql-rest-bridge/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Graphql Rest Bridge tool call.
