AI agents call assess_gap to retrieve information from NORMA MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a read/query operation: it takes a company profile as input and returns heuristic gap analysis results (counts and examples). It does not create, modify, delete, execute, or move money. The output is informational and explicitly noted as 'heuristic only', making it a pure read/reporting tool with low blast radius.
From the tool's definition 'Indicative gap register against a target framework' and 'return covered / partial / gap counts and slug examples. Heuristic only' — the tool reads a company profile and returns an analytical assessment with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Indicative gap register against a target framework. Given a company profile (existing certifications, sector, size, jurisdiction), return covered / partial / gap counts and slug examples. Heuristic only — Pyxis (https://kynosure.ai/en/pyxis) produces the severity-ranked cross-framework gap register with FCI/WMI/ECI scoring. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NORMA MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NORMA MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for assess_gap: 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 NORMA MCP Server. Nothing to install.
assess_gap 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 assess_gap 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 assess_gap. 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.
assess_gap is provided by the NORMA MCP Server MCP server (kynosure-ai/norma-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
