AI agents call list_format_rules to retrieve information from Rq Scan 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 list_format_rules 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 list_format_rules only ever does what you allow.

How do I enforce a policy on list_format_rules? +

Register the Rq Scan MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_format_rules: 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 Rq Scan. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_format_rules? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_format_rules? +

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

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

list_format_rules is provided by the Rq Scan MCP server (rq-scan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Rq Scan tool call.
