AI agents use web_scrape to create or modify resources in Iteratools. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call web_scrape repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Iteratools.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access web_scrape gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Scrape any URL and return clean markdown text. Works on JS-rendered pages. ($0.002/request). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Iteratools MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Iteratools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for web_scrape: 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 Iteratools. Nothing to install.
web_scrape is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the web_scrape 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 web_scrape. 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.
web_scrape is provided by the Iteratools MCP server (iterasoft/iteratools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
