Dashboard: volume, risk distribution, test/rollback coverage, emergency ratio.

Part of the Changeoracle server.

change_stats is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call change_stats to retrieve information from Changeoracle 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 change_stats 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 change_stats gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so change_stats only ever does what you allow.

What does the change_stats tool do? +

Dashboard: volume, risk distribution, test/rollback coverage, emergency ratio.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Changeoracle MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on change_stats? +

Register the Changeoracle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for change_stats: 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 Changeoracle. Nothing to install.

What risk level is change_stats? +

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

Can I rate-limit change_stats? +

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

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

change_stats is provided by the Changeoracle MCP server (https://tooloracle.io/change/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Changeoracle tool call.
