WHAT IT DOES

What test_regex does on GadgetHumans API Hub

AI agents invoke test_regex to trigger actions in GadgetHumans API Hub. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why test_regex is rated High

A 'test_regex' tool most likely executes a regular expression pattern against input text. Regex execution can have side effects such as catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS) if an agent supplies a malicious pattern, which qualifies as Execute rather than a simple Read. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence; it could also be a benign read-only match check.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'test_regex' — description is empty and uninformative.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs test_regex safely

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

test_regex Rate-limited

test_regex stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "test_regex": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "test_regex_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GadgetHumans API Hub, apply this rule, and every test_regex call is checked against it from then on.
