Generate a personalized greeting
AI agents call greet to retrieve information from MCP Demo Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool generates a greeting message, which is a pure read/output operation. It retrieves or constructs a text response based on input parameters without modifying any data, executing commands, or triggering external operations. Minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition 'Generate a personalized greeting' — produces output text with no side effects, no data modification, no external operations

Register the MCP Demo Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for greet: 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 MCP Demo Server. Nothing to install.
greet 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 greet 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 greet. 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.
