AI agents use discover_tools to create or modify resources in Datos Gob Es. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call discover_tools repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Datos Gob Es.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

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

What does the discover_tools tool do? +

Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real estate, ClinicalTrials, USPTO patents, weather, news, crypto, stocks. Returns the top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas (with curated examples) — each result is ready to call directly, no second schema lookup needed. Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Datos Gob Es MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on discover_tools? +

Register the Datos Gob Es MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for discover_tools: 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 Datos Gob Es. Nothing to install.

What risk level is discover_tools? +

discover_tools is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit discover_tools? +

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

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

discover_tools is provided by the Datos Gob Es MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/datos-gob-es/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Datos Gob Es tool call.
