AI agents call query_jurisdiction_overlay to retrieve information from FaultKey · CausalLayer 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 query_jurisdiction_overlay 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 query_jurisdiction_overlay only ever does what you allow.

What does the query_jurisdiction_overlay tool do? +

Multi-jurisdiction overlay (FK-METHOD-2026-004). Given a canonical attributable apportionment (party-id -> share), the union of all jurisdiction role tags on each actor, and the union of jurisdiction-specific flags, return side-by-side post-overlay shares for AU, EU, US, UK, CA (or a chosen subset) with the specific rules that fired in each, citation URLs, and a parties × jurisdictions matrix. v1 ships full implementations for AU and EU; US/UK/CA are research stubs marked is_stub: true. Use GET /api/v2/jurisdiction/catalog to discover support and stub status. Cost: 1 credit. Pure deterministic.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FaultKey · CausalLayer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on query_jurisdiction_overlay? +

Register the FaultKey · CausalLayer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_jurisdiction_overlay: 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 FaultKey · CausalLayer. Nothing to install.

What risk level is query_jurisdiction_overlay? +

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

Can I rate-limit query_jurisdiction_overlay? +

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

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

query_jurisdiction_overlay is provided by the FaultKey · CausalLayer MCP server (https://mcp.faultkey.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
