Detect cognitive biases in reasoning with real-time monitoring.
AI agents call detect_bias to retrieve information from ThoughtMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs analysis and detection of biases in cognitive processes—a read-only operation that retrieves or evaluates reasoning patterns in real-time. It does not create, modify, delete, execute external operations, or commit financial obligations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'detect_bias' and description 'Detect cognitive biases in reasoning with real-time monitoring' indicate analysis and observation of reasoning patterns without modification of underlying data or systems.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Detect cognitive biases in reasoning with real-time monitoring. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ThoughtMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Thought MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_bias: 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 ThoughtMCP. Nothing to install.
detect_bias 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 detect_bias 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 detect_bias. 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.
detect_bias is provided by the Thought MCP server (keyurgolani/thoughtmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
