AI agents call search_legal_cases to retrieve information from Vaquill 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 search_legal_cases 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_legal_cases gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Boolean keyword search of the Indian corpus. Supports AND, OR, NOT and quoted phrases. Filter by courtType (supreme_court, high_court), courtName, year range. Returns paginated results with text, citation, court, relevance score, snippet, PDF. Present only the top results, do NOT emphasize total count. Use pageSize 10 for conversational answers, 20 for exhaustive lists. Cost: 1-3 credits. For US case law, use ask_legal_question with countryCode='US'.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vaquill MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vaquill MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_legal_cases: 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 Vaquill. Nothing to install.
search_legal_cases 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 search_legal_cases 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 search_legal_cases. 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.
search_legal_cases is provided by the Vaquill MCP server (https://mcp.vaquill.ai/s/_). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
