Generate a custom analytics report with specified metrics and visualizations
AI agents call generate_custom_report to retrieve information from Helios-9 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool generates an analytics report based on specified metrics and visualizations, which is fundamentally a read/query operation — it retrieves and aggregates existing data. However, report generation can sometimes trigger writes (e.g., saving the report), and the description is vague about side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Generate a custom analytics report with specified metrics and visualizations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Helios-9 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Helios-9 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_custom_report: 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 Helios-9 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
generate_custom_report 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 generate_custom_report 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 generate_custom_report. 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.
generate_custom_report is provided by the Helios-9 MCP Server MCP server (jakedx6/helios9-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
