Forward a message to another recipient.
AI agents call keyid_forward to retrieve information from KeyID Agent Kit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though keyid_forward only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Forward a message to another recipient. It is categorised as a Read tool in the KeyID Agent Kit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the KeyID Agent Kit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for keyid_forward: 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 KeyID Agent Kit. Nothing to install.
keyid_forward 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 keyid_forward 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 keyid_forward. 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.
keyid_forward is provided by the KeyID Agent Kit MCP server (keyid-ai/agent-kit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
