get_data 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 get_data to retrieve information from Unesco Uis 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 get_data 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 get_data 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 get_data only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_data tool do? +

Fetch UNESCO UIS statistic values: education, literacy, school enrollment/completion, science (R&D) and culture indicators. Returns {records:[{indicatorId,geoUnit,year,value}]}. Indicator IDs come from list_indicators; geoUnit is an ISO3 country code (e.g. "BRA") from list_geounits. Both accept one or many (comma-separated) values; empty records means no data for that indicator/country/year combination.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unesco Uis MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_data? +

Register the Unesco Uis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_data: 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 Unesco Uis. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_data? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_data? +

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

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

get_data is provided by the Unesco Uis MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/unesco-uis/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Unesco Uis tool call.
