WHAT IT DOES

What transfer_detect-pii does on Claude Flow

AI agents call transfer_detect-pii to retrieve information from Claude Flow without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why transfer_detect-pii is rated Low

This tool retrieves and analyzes data to identify personally identifiable information, matching the Read category (queries/analyzes data with no side effects). Severity is low because detection itself causes no harm—it only exposes what PII exists. The lack of redaction confirms non-destructive analysis.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'detect' and description states 'Detect PII in content without redacting'. The core function is detection/analysis, which is a read operation that scans content to identify sensitive information but performs no modification, deletion, or…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs transfer_detect-pii safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Flow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For transfer_detect-pii, this is the rule to start with:

transfer_detect-pii Allowed

transfer_detect-pii is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
