name_frequency

Brazilian census name statistics. Pass a first name to get its registration frequency by decade (since 1930), optionally filtered by sex or state. e.g. name="maria". Pass name="ranking" to get the top names instead.

Part of the Ibge Br server.

name_frequency 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 name_frequency to retrieve information from Ibge Br 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 name_frequency 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 name_frequency 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 name_frequency only ever does what you allow.

What does the name_frequency tool do? +

Brazilian census name statistics. Pass a first name to get its registration frequency by decade (since 1930), optionally filtered by sex or state. e.g. name="maria". Pass name="ranking" to get the top names instead.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ibge Br MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on name_frequency? +

Register the Ibge Br MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for name_frequency: 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 Ibge Br. Nothing to install.

What risk level is name_frequency? +

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

Can I rate-limit name_frequency? +

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

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

name_frequency is provided by the Ibge Br MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ibge-br/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ibge Br tool call.
