What privacy.detect_data_leakage does on ContextForge MCP Gateway
AI agents call privacy.detect_data_leakage to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

This tool performs scanning/detection of data leakage risks by analyzing outputs—a read-only introspection capability. It has no side effects, does not move data, does not execute code, and does not modify state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'detect_data_leakage' and description 'Identify unintended data exposure' indicate analysis or detection of existing data patterns.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs privacy.detect_data_leakage safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ContextForge MCP Gateway, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For privacy.detect_data_leakage, this is the rule to start with:
privacy.detect_data_leakage is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ContextForge MCP Gateway, apply this rule, and every privacy.detect_data_leakage call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about privacy.detect_data_leakage
Identify unintended data exposure or leakage in outputs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for privacy.detect_data_leakage: 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
privacy.detect_data_leakage 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 privacy.detect_data_leakage 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 privacy.detect_data_leakage. 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.
privacy.detect_data_leakage is provided by the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server (jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
