attack_summary

Layer-7 DDoS attack mix over a time window. Returns the percentage breakdown of attacks by mitigation product or attack vector. Filter by location to scope to a region/country.

Part of the Cloudflare Radar server.

attack_summary 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 attack_summary to retrieve information from Cloudflare Radar 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 attack_summary 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.

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

What does the attack_summary tool do? +

Layer-7 DDoS attack mix over a time window. Returns the percentage breakdown of attacks by mitigation product or attack vector. Filter by location to scope to a region/country.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cloudflare Radar MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on attack_summary? +

Register the Cloudflare Radar MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for attack_summary: 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 Cloudflare Radar. Nothing to install.

What risk level is attack_summary? +

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

Can I rate-limit attack_summary? +

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

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

attack_summary is provided by the Cloudflare Radar MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cloudflare-radar/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Cloudflare Radar tool call.
