AI agents call bbq_list_proteins to retrieve information from BBQ MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward query tool that retrieves and returns static reference data (supported protein types and cooking information). It performs no modifications, executions, deletions, or financial operations. The minimal blast radius—even if an AI misuses this tool, it can only learn about available protein options—confirms low severity.

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