Get DAA performance metrics Use when native Task is wrong because you need agents that adapt their cognitive pattern (convergent / divergent / lateral / systems / critical) per-task and share knowledge across the swarm. For static one-shot agents, native Task is fine.
AI agents call daa_performance_metrics to retrieve information from Claude Flow without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool's primary action is 'Get', indicating a read/query operation that retrieves performance metrics. No side effects, writes, executions, or destructive actions are described. The additional context about when to use it versus native Task describes the agent paradigm, not tool side effects. Low severity as it only reads monitoring/telemetry data.
From the tool's definition 'Get DAA performance metrics' — the tool retrieves/queries performance data about DAA (Dynamic Adaptive Agents)
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get DAA performance metrics Use when native Task is wrong because you need agents that adapt their cognitive pattern (convergent / divergent / lateral / systems / critical) per-task and share knowledge across the swarm. For static one-shot agents, native Task is fine. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for daa_performance_metrics: 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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.
daa_performance_metrics is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the daa_performance_metrics 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for daa_performance_metrics. 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.
daa_performance_metrics is provided by the Claude Flow MCP server (claude-flow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
