WHAT IT DOES

RISK

Why bgpview_asn is rated Low

This is a read-only data retrieval tool that queries BGPView for ASN information. It retrieves public network routing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool would only retrieve network routing information that is already publicly available.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bgpview_asn' and description 'Look up an Autonomous System Number (ASN) on BGPView' indicate a lookup/query operation with no modification or execution of external systems.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs bgpview_asn safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For bgpview_asn, this is the rule to start with:

bgpview_asn Allowed

bgpview_asn is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every bgpview_asn call is checked against it from then on.
